ATC to navigate 225 obstacles around Navi Mumbai airport, runway threshold adjusted
The Navi Mumbai airport faces 225 obstacles, including building antennas and parapet walls, as listed in the Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP). These obstacles necessitate a 'displaced threshold' on runway 26, pushing the landing starting point 600m down the runway. This restricts manoeuvring space for air traffic control, but the AIP brings the airport closer to obtaining its aerodrome license.
