MUMBAI: The new ATC tower at Mumbai airport is likely to be inaugurated towards the end of this year. The new tower is being constructed near the current domestic terminal. According to officials at Mumbai airport, the tower is likely to be ready for handing over to the Air Traffic Control (ATC) by the end of March.

However, the installations for ATC management are likely to take another five to six months. Officials said that once the tower in ready, it will be given to the ATC so that all the necessary equipment can be installed. ATC officials also said that they would need to train their staff as per the requirements of the new tower.

"The entire thing will take about six months," an official said. Officials said that once the new tower is operational, the existing one can be demolished as it is a notified obstruction the flight path of the secondary runway. "Many airlines, like Singapore airlines, do not land on secondary runway due to the presence of the tower," an airport official said.

Also, the view of the airport's operation area from the new tower would be much better. "Currently, there are many areas and parking lots which are beyond the controller's ambit of vision. The new location is likely to facilitate better view," said an ATC official.
