Authorities at Veer Savarkar International Airport convened a meeting to review fog-preparedness measures ahead of the winter season. The session was held in line with directives from the Union Civil Aviation Ministry, which recently urged airports nationwide to strengthen safety and passenger service during fog conditions.
Officials discussed standard operating procedures for managing low visibility, coordination with airlines to minimize delays, and technical readiness such as runway lighting and navigation aids. Passenger communication and comfort measures were also emphasized to reduce inconvenience during potential disruptions.
The meeting highlighted the importance of proactive planning, noting that fog-related challenges often impact flight schedules across India. By implementing these measures, Veer Savarkar International Airport aims to ensure smoother operations and maintain connectivity for the Andaman & Nicobar Islands during the fog season.
