Mission ISHAN: Streamlining India’s Airspace for Enhanced Efficiency

• India is embarking on Mission ISHAN, aimed at consolidating its fragmented airspace management into a single, unified system headquartered in Nagpur. This move promises to revolutionize air traffic management, benefitting both airlines and passengers.
• Currently, India’s airspace is divided into four flight information regions (FIRs) and a sub-FIR, each managed independently. This decentralization poses challenges in terms of coordination, efficiency, and capacity handling.
• Under Mission ISHAN, all FIRs will be integrated into a single airspace managed from Nagpur. This centralization is expected to optimize operations, enhance safety, and increase capacity, crucial for accommodating the soaring demand in the aviation sector.
