The Civil Aviation Ministry is planning to send air traffic controllers to Australia for training in simultaneous use of converging runways.
The initiative will increase aircraft handling capacity at Delhi and Mumbai airports, the country's busiest.
''This training will help air traffic controllers use two runways at the same time,'' said a senior official at the Air Traffic Controllers' Guild. ''It may start from April.'' The emergence of no-frills airlines and expanding services on various international and domestic circuits due to the boom in the aviation industry added to congestion on the ground and in the sky.
