Night landing facilities are now operational at all airports across the country, marking a significant milestone in the aviation sector and improving overall air connectivity, authorities announced on Tuesday.
The development follows the completion of necessary upgrades, including improved runway lighting systems, enhanced navigation aids and updated air traffic control procedures. With night landing capabilities in place, airports can now handle flights beyond daylight hours, increasing operational flexibility for airlines.
Officials said the move is expected to reduce delays, improve emergency response capabilities and enhance passenger convenience, particularly for domestic and regional travel. It will also support tourism growth by allowing more flexible flight schedules.
Aviation authorities confirmed that safety remains the top priority, with pilots, air traffic controllers and ground staff receiving required training to support night-time operations. Regular inspections and maintenance of lighting and navigation systems will also be carried out to ensure compliance with international standards.
The introduction of night landing at all airports is seen as a key step toward strengthening the country’s transport infrastructure and supporting long-term economic and tourism development.
