What is the full form of AAI

AAI: Airport Authority of India

AAI stands for Airport Authority of India. It works under the Ministry of Civil Aviation. It is responsible for creating, maintaining and upgrading the civil aviation infrastructure in India. It performs a number of duties which include managing 125 Airports, air navigation services, managing the Air traffic over Indian airspace and bordering oceanic areas, etc.

Airport Authority of India was established when the International Airports Authority of India (IAAI) was merged with National Airports Authority (NAA) by an Act of Parliament in April 1995.

AAI has also established four training centers which are as follows;

• The Civil Aviation Training College (CATC) at Allahabad
• National Institute of Aviation Management and Research (NIAMAR) in Delhi
• Fire Training Centers (FTC) in Delhi and Kolkata

Passengers' Amenities

The primary responsibilities of AAI include, among other things, building, modifying, and managing passenger terminals, developing and managing cargo terminals, and developing and maintaining apron infrastructures, such as parallel taxiways, runways, and apron, as well as providing communication, navigation, and surveillance services, such as providing DVOR/DME, ILS, ATC radars, and visual aids, as well as providing passenger facilities and amenities.

Flight Services

With regards to the worldwide methodology of modernizing the air route framework for a smooth route across state and provincial limits, AAI has been gaining ground with its desire to move to satellite-based correspondence, route, reconnaissance, and air traffic on the board. Various participation arrangements and memoranda of collaboration have been endorsed as the US Federal Aviation Administration, US Trade and Development Agency, European Union, Air Services Australia, and the French Government Cooperative Projects and Studies have begun to take advantage of their experience. Through these events, more and more AAI executives are exposed to the most recent technology, as well as the contemporary techniques and processes being used to boost airport and air navigation services' overall performance.

A constant process is used to raise the standards of safety at airports in the air by introducing the newest, most cutting-edge equipment as both replacement and new facilities. The introduction of new equipment coincides with the adoption of new and enhanced procedures. To increment airspace limit and ease traffic obstruction, India's airspace embraced the Reduced Vertical Separation Minima (RVSM ). The implementation of GPS and Geo Augmented Navigation (GAGAN) in collaboration with ISRO, which, once operational, would be one of only four such systems worldwide, was another key step in this direction.

The Actions of AAI are as follows:

• Process Design, construction, administration, and upkeep of domestic and international airports, as well as civil enclaves.
• Control and management of Indian airspace that extends outside of national borders, as recognised by ICAO.
• Building, modifying, and managing passenger terminals
• Creation and administration of cargo terminals at domestic and international airports.
