DGCA conducts first satellite-based landing system approach on jet aircraft in India using GAGAN

India has achieved a major aviation milestone with its first-ever satellite-based landing system approach on a jet aircraft. An IndiGo Airbus A320 successfully used the GAGAN system for a precision landing in Udaipur, marking a leap from previous turboprop-only operations. This advancement, developed by ISRO and AAI, enhances navigation accuracy and reduces reliance on ground infrastructure, positioning India among nations with indigenous satellite navigation capabilities.
