Ajay Kumar Kapur, Regional Executive Director (Northern Region), Airport Authority India (AAI) called the Northern region a “powerhouse” of India’s civil aviation sector. He highlighted that the region handles 30% of the country’s passenger traffic annually. He emphasized on the usage of the Central Air Traffic Flow Management (CATFM) system to manage traffic movement amid harsh weather conditions. “The only constraint at present is the shortage of suitable smaller aircraft in India. We are fully ready to support the airlines. Whenever the airlines start their flights, operations will commence immediately,” Kapur said.
