Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The 75th year of India’s independence – Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav has been an occasion to reinvigorate and re-emphasise India’s maritime moorings. INAS 550, the premiere air squadron of Indian Navy based at Kochi, created history by carrying out maiden night landing by Dornier aircraft at the Agatti airfield in Lakshadweep islands on 13 October 2022. Located about 460 km west of Kochi in Arabian Sea, Agatti atoll houses the lone airstrip available in the archipelago of the Union Territory of Lakshadweep. The airfield operated by AAI was inaugurated in April 1988 for operation of DO-228. Operations were extended to ATR 72 in September 2010. However, owing to the short runway length and limited airfield services available, the operations of both civil airliners and military aircraft had been limited to day operations only. Under the aegis of Indian Navy, SNC took initiative to overcome this limitation and in coordination with AAI and DGCA, successfully carried out maiden night landing at Agatti on 13 October 2022. As part of trials, multiple approaches and landings were carried out from both sides of the runway to validate suitability for operations. The successful night trials would pave way for future operations of DO-228 aircraft from this airfield by night which will boost Indian Navy’s efforts towards round the clock maritime surveillance and support to the islands.
