How Delhi is managing 35 special aircraft during BRICS Summit
VVIPs use separate arrival facilities, while commercial flights are being timed around special movements and multiple airports are being used to park visiting aircraft
The Hindu reports that Delhi is managing 35 special aircraft during the BRICS Summit through a tightly coordinated aviation operation involving multiple airports, controlled airspace, and carefully timed movements. The operation spans Indira Gandhi International Airport, the Indian Air Force's Palam technical area, and other airports being used to park visiting aircraft.
Security agencies, including the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) and Air Force, are coordinating the movements, with VVIP movements kept separate from regular commercial flights. The larger exercise is taking place in the air, with controlled windows extended and coordinated more extensively to provide clear movement windows for the special aircraft.
Non-scheduled flight operations within a 300-km radius of Delhi are restricted from September 11 to 13, with scheduled commercial flights being exempt.
