New Delhi: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has certified Vistara, the JV carrier of Tata Group and Singapore Airlines, for category III B (CAT III-B) landing in dense fog, just ahead of the coming winter.
The certification will enable Vistara to safely operate under low visibility conditions due to fog or any other poor weather conditions, which is anticipated in northeast and northern parts of India in the coming days.
The nearly two-year-old airline now joins the ranks of 'old' Indian carriers that have CAT IIIB-enabled fleet.
"The CAT IIIB compliant fleet and crew will now be permitted to safely take-off and touch down with a runway visibility range (RVR) of as low as 75 metres," a statement by Vistara said.
Vistara's current fleet of 13 Airbus A320s come with the integrated CAT IIIB auto land system.
