Ministry of Civil Aviation
Secretary Civil Aviation assesses preparedness for closure of runway
10/28 at IGI Airport
MAIN RUNWAY TO REMAIN CLOSED FROM 2 APRIL 2010
RUNWAY TO BECOME OPERATIONAL BY 28 SEPTEMBER 2010
New Delhi: March 17, 2010
The Secretary, Ministry of Civil Aviation, Shri M. Madhavan Nambiar
today reviewed preparedness of the Delhi International Airport Limited
(DIAL) to handle traffic at IGI Airport during the closure of
Runway-10/28 from 2 April, 2010 onwards for maintenance and repair.
This was to ensure minimum disruption of air traffic, inconvenience to
the traveling public and to minimize operational difficulties to
airlines.
While the Ministry of Civil Aviation today has given its consent to
the closure of runway for the period required for its maintenance and
repair, (DIAL) has been asked to ensure that only the optimum
construction period should be utilized and all possible efforts should
be made to jump start the process and compress the closure time to the
minimum possible, keeping in mind the risk mitigation so that there
was minimum inconvenience to all during the process of recarpetting of
the runway.
The Ministry has been informed by DIAL that the work on the runway
will start on 2 April, 2010 and it will become fully operational by 28
September, 2010. During this time, air traffic movement would be
managed by simultaneous use of Runways 27 and 29. The repair work in
Runway-28 would be carried out in a phased manner so as to ensure
minimum inconvenience for the taxing aircrafts. DIAL is committed to
complete the rehabilitation work of the runway before the Commonwealth
Games. Generally, resurfacing of runways is required every 7 to 10
years depending on traffic density. The last resurfacing of runway
10/28 was done in the year 1999. Due to increase in traffic and
heavier aircraft, the runway surface has got distressed and requires
rehabilitation. The DGCA had carried out an inspection of the runway
and had concluded that the runway was a need of major repair works.
The Ministry has instructed the Airports Authority of India (AAI) for
the concurrence of the work and issue of necessary NOTAM. AAI has been
asked to ensure promulgation of procedures for air traffic control and
minimum reduction of capacity. They have also been asked to keep in
readiness a contingency plan in case of disruption of work at either
of the runway 27 and 29 during this period.
The Ministry of Civil Aviation will review the operations during this
period very frequently.
The meeting was also attended by the Director General of Civil
Aviation, the Chairman, AAI, senior officials of the Ministry of Civil
Aviation and senior officials of DIAL.
