Airport’s (
KIA) south
runway will be able to manage CAT III B operations enabling landing and takeoff in extremely low visibility conditions, as low as 50 metres by Dec 31.
The D-Day for making the RWY 09R/27l or the south runway CAT III B-compliant is December 31. However, it is unclear whether authorities would be following the plan.
Till Wednesday night, there was no update on whether the runway would become CAT III B-compliant, which would potentially reduce fog-related delays and flight cancellations at the airport.
