AHMEDABAD: Hampering of flight movement due to a runway incursion was barely saved in the nick of time at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International (SVPI) airport in Ahmedabad earlier this month.
In response to an RTI, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) revealed that a runway incursion was reported at the city airport on January 9 this year by a mechanical runway sweeper (MRS) vehicle, which was inappropriately positioned along the runway and came in the way of landing and take-off of aircrafts, at 10.56am.
