The government has exempted Boeing 787 aircraft in India from complying with indigenously developed GAGAN navigation system until December 2025 as the aircraft manufacturer has said that it involves a major design change.
GAGAN (GPS Aided GEO Augmented Navigation) helps aircraft with guided landing at airports that do not have instrument landing system for low-visibility operations or an aid where two radio beams provide pilots with vertical and horizontal guidance during landing.
In a notification on August 18, the Ministry of Civil Aviation, said "Boeing 787 aircraft is exempted from GAGAN compliance till 31st December 2025."
