Goa International Airport Completes Navigation Performance Procedure for Runway Approaches

GMR Goa International Airport Limited (GGIAL) on Monday said it has completed the Required Navigation Performance (RNP) procedure for both approaches — 10 and 28 — of the newly-built runway at the upcoming New Goa international airport. According to a press release issued here by GGIAL, a subsidiary of GMR Airports Limited (GAL), an Airbus 320 aircraft from Indigo Airlines equipped with RNP equipment tested and validated RNP for its accuracy and fly-ability.

“RNP is a family of navigation specifications under Performance Based Navigation (PBN), which permit the operation of aircraft along a precise flight path with a high level of accuracy and the ability to determine aircraft position with both precision and integrity,” the press release stated. The company said that the addition of RNP radius to fix arrivals, approaches, and departures increases airspace capacity by shortening the approach and departure paths.

GGIAL’s chief executive officer R V Sheshan said that today, we have successfully completed the Required Navigation Performance (RNP) procedure at the upcoming New Goa International Airport.

Sheshan said that as an airport operator, GGIAL is working to make New Goa International Airport the airport of choice for airlines, passengers, and all stakeholders by unlocking the true potential of Goa. “New Goa international airport will offer a plethora of employment and tourism opportunities promoting socio-economic development in Goa,” he said.
