IndiGo becomes the first airline in Asia to land its aircraft using the indigenous navigation system GAGAN, with Localiser Performance with Vertical Guidance (LPV) approach.
The flight was conducted using an ATR-72 aircraft and landed at the Kishangarh airport in Rajasthan.
GAGAN is used to provide lateral and vertical guidance when an aircraft is approaching a runway for landing.
Along with this, it is also a big achievement for India because after this successful landing, India has now become the first country in Asia to have this system.
