Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) has successfully completed the re-carpeting and refurbishment of Runway 10/28, known as the second runway, at Indira Gandhi International Airport. Equipped with CAT III technology, the runway enhances safety during landings in adverse weather conditions, such as dense fog.

This technology is crucial for ensuring secure landings when visibility is severely limited. The operationalization of the CAT III-enabled Runway 10/28 aligns with the aviation industry’s commitment to safety and efficiency.

The re-carpeting and rehabilitation work on Runway 10/28, which included the induction of additional taxiways, aim to improve the overall passenger experience.
