Kathmandu, 1 January: For lack of Instrument Landing System (ILS)in the Gautam Buddha International Airport, international flights have been halted in the airport citing unfavourable weather condition as India did not give consent to operate ‘ILS system’
International flights here have been affected due to poor visibility following thick fog in winter. General Manager of the Gautam Buddha International Airport Govinda Prasad Dahal confirmed that Himalayan Airlines has suspended its flights since December 20 and Jazeera Airways since December 2. ILS has been installed at the airport but it is not brought into use. The ILS is a radio navigation system which helps aircrafts in landing during nighttime and inclement weather condition.
