India has started the process of consolidating its 4 airspace regions into a single entity spanning the entire nation under Initiative Indian Single Sky Harmonized Air Traffic Management (ISHAN).
- Currently, Indian airspace is divided into 4 Flight Information Regions (FIRs) in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Chennai, each managed separately.
- Under ISHAN, these will be consolidated into one continuous airspace centred in Nagpur.
- It seeks to streamline and enhance air traffic management across India.
- The Airports Authority of India (AAI), invited expressions of interest (EoI) for the preparation of a detailed project report.
- AAI was constituted by an Act of Parliament and came into being on 1st April 1995 by merging erstwhile National Airports Authority and International Airports Authority of India.
- It works under the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, Ministry of Civil Aviation, Government of India.
