Delhi airport operator DIAL on Monday said it has commissioned the Disabled Aircraft Recovery (DAR) kit that can fully recover a narrow-body aircraft, including A320 and B737. The kit, having a capacity of 90 tonne, can also do one-sided recovery of wide-body aircraft.
In a release, DIAL said the mobile mobile Disabled Aircraft Recovery Kit has been procured from Germany-based M/S Kunz and is capable of fully recovering narrow-body aircraft, including the A320 and 737, as well as carrying out one-sided recovery of wide-body aircraft within a short span of time. With a maximum capacity of 90 tonnes, the DAR kit can recover Code F-compliant aircraft during an aircraft incident on the runway, ensuring minimal runway closure.
Besides, the Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL) has trained a team of 36 personnel to handle any disabled aircraft situation.
A DAR kit is used to recover an aircraft which is unable to move under its own power or through the normal use of an appropriate tow tractor and tow bar.
