Imphal, February 17 : With installation of the Solar Power Obstruction Light (SPOL) at five hill tops almost complete, written intimation has been sent to the Ministry of Civil Aviation to fix a date for a trial night landing at the Imphal airport.
An official source informed The Sangai Express that the Joint General Manager of the Airport Authority of India stationed at Imphal wrote to the Director General of the Ministry of Civil Aviation about a week back to fix a date to conduct trial night landing at Tulihal Airport.
However, the Ministry of Civil Aviation will be sending a team of AAI to the State first to look into SPOLs installed at five hill tops before deciding on the technical feasibility of landing aircrafts at Imphal airport in the night, informed the source further.
The Joint General Manager stationed at Imphal has already appealed to the Chief Minister to approach the Ministry of Civil Aviation at Government level so that night landing at Tulihal Airport can be commenced shortly, added the source.
