Guwahati Airport Commissions 570-Metre Precision Approach Lighting System
Guwahati's Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport has commissioned a new 570-metre Precision Approach Lighting System (PALS), extending the previous 180-metre system. This upgrade aims to improve aircraft landing safety by providing enhanced visual guidance during low-visibility conditions, such as heavy monsoon rainfall. The system supports earlier runway identification and better alignment for pilots, enhancing operational continuity and aviation safety at the airport, which serves as a key air transport hub in Northeast India.
