Kolkata: A year from now, airlines will be able to save nearly Rs 90,000
per flight on the Kolkata-Jaipur sector. That may not only result in
lower fares, but it will also mean a shorter flight time with pilots
hoping to shave off around 20 minutes.
Sooner still, flight duration to southern cities like Visakhapatnam, Chennai, Hyderabad and Bangalore will also reduce by 15-20 minutes for around two months a year, leading to similar savings.
"Integration of radars across India will allow air traffic controllers to provide flights with direct routes between cities and desired flight levels, twin factors that are crucial to the aircraft's fuel consumption and can lead to substantial savings," AAI executive director (air traffic management) Ram Lal told TOI on Monday.
Radars are used by controllers to track flights and guide them to prevent collision.
Radars in Kolkata air traffic control (ATC) will integrate with Chennai ATC by November-December 2014, ushering in complete and seamless coverage between south and east India and enabling controllers to pack more aircraft into the airspace. That will mean straighter flight paths.
