LAHORE: A new landing system is being installed at the Allama Iqbal International Airport, Lahore to improve the visibility conditions especially at night time.
According to Airport Manager Akhtar Mirza, the installation of Instrument Landing System category III B will be helpful in landing flights even up to 50 meters visibility. He said that the latest system is supplemented by Advanced Airfield Lighting System and Surface Movement Radar. Earlier, the Civil Aviation Authority had to use ILS Cat II system owing to which the landing was not possible below 350 meters visibility, he added.
The project also entails installation of Surface Movement Guidance Control System (SMGCS), Surface Movement Radar (SMR) and Airfield Lighting System (AFL) on other linked taxi ways.
