Amravati airport to get DVOR by Oct 30, night landing by Nov 30

Amravati airport’s Doppler Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (DVOR) and night-landing facilities are progressing according to schedule, with operations targeted for October 30 and November 30 respectively.

The preparedness of the two facilities was reviewed on September 16. Maharashtra Airport Development Company vice-chairman and managing director Deepak Kapoor said both projects were proceeding as planned.

“We are pleased with the progress of the DVOR and night-landing facility projects at Amravati airport. Both works are proceeding as planned, with the DVOR expected to be commissioned by October 30, 2026; and night-landing operations intended to begin by November 30, 2026.

These are important upgrades for Amravati’s aviation infrastructure, and MADC is fully committed to delivering them within the stipulated timelines.”

The DVOR is a ground-based navigation aid that provides aircraft with directional guidance and, when used alongside other systems and approved procedures, supports approach and departure operations.

The night-landing facility will enable aircraft operations beyond daylight hours, subject to regulatory approvals, airline schedules and operational conditions.

The two facilities are being developed as upgrades to Amravati airport’s aviation infrastructure.

The DVOR is expected to commence operations by October 30, while night-landing operations are intended to begin by November 30.

The projects remain subject to the relevant regulatory and operational requirements for night-landing operations.

MADC reviewed the progress of both facilities on September 16 and said work was proceeding according to schedule.

The upgrades are intended to strengthen the airport’s aviation infrastructure and support its operations beyond the existing daylight-only capability.

The latest review provides two specific target dates: October 30, 2026, for the DVOR and November 30, 2026, for the night-landing facility.
