Atc 600

Atc 600lapse of security at the airport in Mumbai

Air mishap often now a days and the authorities are at least taking care of this issue. It is just one week after the crash of another accident was averted at the airport in Mumbai on Thursday evening (June 3) where a flight of Kingfisher has been cleared to land on a runway at the same time Spice Jet flight was interrupted due to technical failure. The Mumbai - Chennai SpiceJet flight ready for departure at eleven o'clock at night, but it developed a technical problem at the last minute. Accordingly, the air traffic control halted the flight and at the same time, they gave permission to the airline Kingfisher Delhi and Mumbai to land on the same track. The pilot of the aircraft, Kingfisher had an overshoot and avoid the accident.

Then the authority to take out all safety measures for passengers who are blindly beating merely believe them? What about the safety of passengers who are the consumers here? A similar disaster was averted on May 27 at the airport. Here is the plan of Jet Airways was asked to abort landing at the last minute. At the same time Indigo aircraft entered the runway. Air Traffic Control manages more than 600 flights at the airport in Mumbai on a daily basis. The Mumbai-Delhi air corridor has emerged as one of the busiest in the world. A report from the airport in Mumbai is the sixth busiest corridor. This survey was conducted by an international organization, the Official Airlines Guide. According to the report there are 53 daily flights between Delhi and Mumbai.

This report clearly shows the actual pressure on the Mumbai airport, as is already running at capacity. The big question is why the authorities do not care about these issues? Why are they not taking adequate safety precautions, there is no value to consumers' lives? Now, airlines are fighting hard to get a new slot for their flights to and from Mumbai. Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL) has suggested the Ministry of Aviation to operate fewer flights large twin aisle planes like the A-330 A-340, Boeing 777 or Jumbo.

An exclusive report from one of the major chains reporting is a disaster waiting to happen at the Mumbai airport. The main reason is the vital radar that can capture all the disasters lying in the dust confined to the airport for the last two years. I wonder how the airport authority can be so careless about human life! Why the government does not work? Are they waiting for disaster to happen? Why does this always happen in our country? We have confined ourselves to rules and regulations? What is the utility to a committee of inquiry after the disaster happens? The last two incidents, two near misses in the last two months. On May 31, 2009, Air India and Jet aircraft escape a major accident. In another incident, two chartered planes almost simultaneously off the runway 27 at Mumbai airport.

Despite all these relatives of the lack of Mumbai airport is not the questions of consumer safety. The thing to note is that the surface movement radar to monitor the vital ground traffic at the airport is not installed. The radar was purchased in 2008 and it is really shocking that the warranty has expired. As there is a lack of surface movement radar of the ATC, at times when traffic is at saturation, human error is bound to creep in. It should be noted that the traffic is so much ground with buses, planes Trucks of food etc and the possibility of such accidents are very high. There is an immediate need and urgency in addressing this issue of consumer safety. The percentage increase in air traffic is growing 20 percent annually. But ATC is still a serious shortage of staff. Over 250 acres of airport land has been invaded by the slum. There are space constraints for the Mumbai airport as a result, they have a lot of runwa intersection.
