The report that Birsa Munda Airport filed to the Ministry of Civil Aviation lists every facility that is necessary for an international airport. The evaluation concludes that the airport’s air traffic facilities are effective and safe. Once the customs and immigration wing is operational, foreign planes will be permitted to take off. It is the ministry’s responsibility to bring Ranchi Airport back into the international category.
The infrastructure report for Birsa Munda Airport was sent to the Civil Aviation Ministry. In the study, the airport administration has included details on every facility required for an international airport. According to the assessment, Ranchi Airport has the nation’s safest and most efficient air traffic facilities.
The wing for customs and immigration will open, allowing foreign planes to fly. It is the ministry’s responsibility to bring Ranchi Airport back into the international category. We would like to inform you that the Civil Aviation Ministry requested a list of the airport infrastructure in each state capital.
The government is developing a plan to begin international flights and renovate airports in the capital that do not fall under the definition of international airports. Additionally, there has been a call to begin international flights from Ranchi to Thailand and Dubai.
According to the research, Ranchi Airport has all the facilities needed for an international airport. The 19,600 square meter Integrated Terminal Building, which cost Rs 138 crore to construct, is already functioning.
At the same time, it can effectively manage 200 international and 500 domestic passengers. The development of a state-of-the-art ILS localizer antenna allows the aircraft to land safely and accurately in any weather conditions. All the facilities of an international airport are available in Ranchi.
The airport has built specialized technology to remove pollutants from the air. This prevents the release of gases that harm the ozone layer. There is very little control over fuel leaks at the airport. They are also preventing leaks that happen during maintenance.
How does the immigration and customs inspection procedure work?
Checking travelers’ bags is part of the customs procedure. The organization regulates the import and export of products. It guarantees the protection of domestically produced commodities and the prevention of illicit imports.
One government agency that regulates who enters and exits a nation is immigration. No one can enter the nation without the agency’s approval if they don’t have the required paperwork or visa. A comprehensive examination of passports and visas is part of the immigration procedure.
Challenges in becoming into an international airport
The aircraft will have trouble landing in reduced visibility. The airport was unable to install CAT-II lighting costing Rs. 18 crores since there was not enough area available. High-rise structures and encroachment limit the runway’s usable length to around 2700 meters. There are plans to add 900 meters to the runway.
However, several airport building projects are on hold because the state government has not made 303 acres of land available.
