Officials of the Airports Authority of India (AAI) said last month, the work was completed, and the Aviation Regulator, Directorate General of Civil Aviation, conducted inspections subsequently.
The airport’s already existing taxiway ‘Romeo’ has been extended to touch both ends of the main runway, and will now serve as a parallel taxiway to help reduce the time a flight occupies the main runway. Officials of the Airports Authority of India (AAI) said last month, the work was completed, and the Aviation Regulator, Directorate General of Civil Aviation, conducted inspections subsequently. “We recently got their clearance for putting the taxiway to use. But we have to complete a few more formalities after which it can be thrown open in a few weeks,” an official said. Three more rapid exit taxiways are also under construction, and the straightening of a taxiway called ‘Bravo’ too has been in progress for a while now.
