The Airports Authority of India under the Ministry of Civil Aviation is responsible for creating, upgrading, maintaining and managing civil aviation infrastructure in India. It provides Air traffic management ATM services over Indian airspace and adjoining oceanic areas. It also manages a total of Airports, including International Airports, Customs Airports, Domestic Airports and Civil enclaves at Military Airfields. AAI also has ground installations at all airports and other locations to ensure safety of aircraft operations. AAI covers all major air-routes over Indian landmass via Radar installations at locations along with installations co-located with Distance Measuring Equipment.
AAI implementation of Automatic Dependence Surveillance System, using indigenous technology, at Kolkata and Chennai Air Traffic Control Centres, made India the first country to use this technology in the South East Asian region thus enabling Air Traffic Control over oceanic areas using satellite mode of communication. Performance Based Navigation procedures have already been implemented at Mumbai, Delhi and Ahmedabad Airports and are likely to be implemented at other Airports in a phased manner. AAI is implementing the GAGAN project in technological collaboration with the Indian Space Research Organisation , where the satellite based system will be used for navigation.
