Operation of wide-bodied aircraft: more to NOC than meets the eye
- | Saturday | 11th August, 2018
Air India has completed the compatibility study and safety assessment of wide- bodied aircraft at Calicut airport. “The NOC was given basically due to political pressure since the airport did not actually confirm to the standards of the ICAO to operate wide-bodied aircraft,” he said. Further, the onus of aircraft removal plan has been jointly put on the airline and Calicut airport authorities in case of any incidents such as tire burst, aircraft running off the runway or taxiway. The fleet of the airline company mostly consists of Boeing 777-300 ER, Boeing 777-200 LR and Airbus A380- 800. Also, it has stated that the NOC did not cast any liability, financially or otherwise, to the aviation watchdog.
