Removal of Disabled Aircraft
The Chief Operating Officer has overall responsibility for removal of disabled aircraft at IGI Airport.
An aircraft may become immobilised at an airport for a variety of reasons ranging from incidents such as
tyre burst, an aircraft running off a runway or taxiway or major accident involving partial or complete
disintegration of the aircraft. A disabled aircraft on or adjacent to the movement area is considered to
be a major problem as the consequent diversion of flights results in high cost of operations to aircraft
operations to aircraft operators, loss or revenues to the airport and inconvenience to travelling public.
Thus, expeditious removal of the disabled aircraft, especially when it interferes with the movements of
other aircraft, is essential.
Control of the actual lifting and removal of large aircraft is the responsibility of the registered owner or the
operator concerned, although he may seek advice, where necessary, from his insurance representative
or the aircraft manufacturer. However, if the registered owner or operator is unable to remove the aircraft
or is dilatory in doing so, DIAL shall have the authority to act for him with least delay. However, this does
not imply that other than proper recovery procedure can be used for removal of the disabled aircraft. In
case of small aircraft it may be possible for DIAL, with the agreement of the registered owner or operator,
to undertake the responsibility for removal of the aircraft. In any case, it is to be ensured that the disabled
aircraft or its severed parts are left undisturbed and not tempered with or otherwise removed from the site
without prior clearance from the Accident Investigating Authority and the aircraft owner/operator. Only
after these clearances, the aircraft can be removed.
2.27
Safety Areas

Introduction
1.1
Background
Airports face significant competition from other airports both domestically and internationally. A
distinguishing factor between airports is an unbroken chain of world class customer service offered by all
stakeholders to passengers.
DIAL Quality Policy states:
Delhi International Airport (P) Limited will deliver world class services to all its
stakeholders through customer orientation, innovation and continual improvement of
all processes, leading to customer delight.
DIAL is an ISO 9001:2000 certified organisation and participates in the global Airport Service Quality
(ASQ) passenger survey. DIAL is furthermore contractually bound to meet service quality standards as
per OMDA Schedule 3 and achieve an ASQ rating of 3.5 by 2010 with incremental quarterly
improvements until then. These requirements can only be met with the full and unequivocal support of all
stakeholders. This guideline on Customer Service Standards seeks to achieve both superior services for
passengers using our airport as well as meeting DIALs contractual obligations.
1.2
Service Quality Tools & Measurement
DIAL has established an ISO 9001:2000 quality management system as a backbone for strong and
consistent delivery of processes and service delivery. DIAL strongly encourages all business partners at
the airport to establish ISO 9001 or similar robust quality and service delivery mechanisms.
DIAL also conducts quarterly passenger surveys (ASQ) covering aspects such as:
Airport access
Check-in
Security & Emigration
Way-finding & signage
Airport facilities including shops, restaurants and services
Airport environment and cleanliness
Arrivals including baggage handling, customs & immigration
All stakeholders at the airport contribute significantly to the outcome of the survey. The embrace of a
service attitude by all staff, contractors, concessionaires, government agencies and other parties active at
the airport is therefore of paramount importance for the passenger experience at IGI Airport.
Consequently, DIAL will regularly monitor and communicate the survey results to key stakeholders
through audits, mystery shopping, customer feedback and other appropriate means. During this
appropriate Service Level Agreements (SLAs) will be negotiated with stakeholders to ensure first rate
consistent quality of service throughout IGI Airport.

Introduction
Birds are a serious hazard to aviation. A bird or a flock of birds that suddenly rises from a runway or
surrounding area may collide with incoming or departing aircraft and cause the aircraft to crash, possibly
resulting in the loss of human life. Bird collision with aircraft is commonly known as bird strike. Damage
caused to aircraft usually results from collision of one or more birds with the engines and/or fuselage.
Although most bird strikes do not result in crashes, they do involve expensive structural and mechanical
damage to aircraft. The incidence of this problem worldwide makes bird strike a serious economic
problem.
As no two airports are exactly alike; similarly, bird hazards vary from airport to airport, even when the
same species are involved. The occurrence of birds at airports varies according to habitat availability,
weather, season of year, and time of day.
Bird Attractants at Airports - Airports provide a wide variety of natural and man-made habitats that offer
food, water, and cover. Many airports are located along migratory routes used by birds. One of the first
steps in reducing bird hazards is to recognize these attractants. Usually, several attractants acting in
combination are responsible for the presence of birds and their behaviour at an airport.
Food
Birds require relatively large amounts of food. Most airports support an abundance and variety of foods
such as seeds, berries, grass, insects, grubs, earthworms, small birds, and small mammals. Seeds and
berries are sought by several migratory and resident birds such as sparrows, finches, starlings,
blackbirds, mourning doves, common pigeons, and waterfowl. Geese are attracted to open expanses of
grasses.
Occasionally, food becomes available through careless waste disposal practices by restaurants and
airline flight kitchens. Many airports have inadequate garbage disposal systems that permit access to
various food items. These attract several species of birds, especially gulls. Nearby landfills or sewage
outlets may also provide food for birds and other wildlife.
Water
Birds of all types are drawn to open water for drinking, bathing, feeding, loafing, roosting, and protection.
Rainy periods provide temporary water pools at many airports. Many airports have permanent bodies of
water near or between runways for landscaping, flood control, or wastewater purposes. These permanent
sources of water provide a variety of bird foods, including small fish, tadpoles, frogs, insect larvae, other
invertebrates, and edible aquatic plants.
Cover
Birds need cover for resting, loafing, roosting, and nesting. Trees, bushy areas, weed patches, shrubs,
and airport structures often provide suitable habitat to meet these requirements. Almost any area that is
free from human disturbance may provide a suitable roosting site for one or more species of bird.
Migration
Many airports are located along traditional annual bird migration corridors. Birds may suddenly appear in
large flocks on or over an airport on their annual migration, even when the airport itself offers no particular
attraction. Dates of migration vary by species and area. Flock size of a given species may vary widely
from year to year depending on time of year, weather conditions, and many other factors.
99 of123
E-3 Damage Prevention and Control Methods

Bird strike hazards occur regularly at many airports and require constant attention. Before attempting to
reduce bird hazards at an airport, it is important to assess the problem, identify contributing factors, and
analyze the threat to aircraft and human safety. In case of dealing with migratory and non-migratory birds
that are protected by the state, a state permit may be required while controlling them.
A wildlife hazard management plan should be implemented to make the airport unattractive to birds.
Scaring or dispersing birds away from airports is usually difficult because birds are tenaciously attracted
to available food, water, and cover. As long as these attractants exist, birds hang around in the area.
In most situations, a wildlife biologist trained in bird hazard assessment should be selected to conduct a
thorough ecological study of the airport and its vicinity. The study should determine what species of birds
are involved, what attracts them, abundance and peak use periods and special hazard zones. It should
also include control recommendations to reduce the frequency of bird occurrence at the airport.
Habitat Modification
Several habitat management practices can make an airport less attractive to birds. These include
eliminating standing water, removing or thinning trees, removing bushes and managing grass height.
Bird-proofing of buildings can help reduce or eliminate roosting or nesting sites.
Frightening
Frightening is a reliable and expeditious means of repelling birds. Frightening programmes, however,
provide only temporary relief and require constant monitoring. An early priority in reducing bird hazards is
to establish a bird dispersal patrol team to harass and scare birds and provide immediate protection for
aircraft within the airport perimeter. The patrol team must consist of highly motivated and knowledgeable
personnel with adequate equipment, such as radio-equipped vehicles, shotguns, and frightening devices
consisting of bird distress calls, live ammunition, and pyrotechnic devices (automatic gas exploders,
shellcrackers, and rocket bombs).
2.
Background
OMDA stipulates that DIAL with the help of an independent expert, shall undertake a full Environmental
Audit of the Airport, evolve a continuously improving Environmental Management Strategy (EMS) and
ensure that the conditions of the Airport meet all statutory and regulatory requirements.
3.
Penalties
Littering bird-/animal- attracting garbage in and around the Airport shall be a cognizable offence,
punishable with imprisonment up to one year or with fine up to two thousand rupees or with both, in
accordance with the sub-section (1A) of Section 10 of the Aircraft Act 1934, contravention to provisions of
Rule 81B of the Aircraft Rules 1937 made under clause (qq) of sub-section (2) of Section 5 of the above
Act.
Punishment for the same offence shall be imprisonment up to six months or fine up to five thousand
rupees or both as per the Airports Authority of India Act, 1994 published vide Gazette of India,
Extraordinary Part II, Section 1 dt. 13.9.1994, contravention to provisions of the Aircraft Act, 1934, and
the Rules made therein under the clause (qq) of the sub-section (2) of Section 5 of the Aircraft Act.

Rule 81B of the Aircraft Rules 1937.
4.
Principles of BASH Management at DIAL
Activities based on Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) carried out by Air Side Management (ASM)
for Bird-/Animal-Aircraft-Strike Hazard (BASH) Management
Apron Control/ASO/ASM carries out regular runway inspections and all Post-bird/animal-aircraft
hit activities or procedures after sighting a dead or injured animal/bird on Runway / Taxiway /
Shoulder grass.
For Control of Blue Bulls/dogs/Jackals/other animals entering runways and taxiways ASO/ASM
contracts NGOs with the guidance of BASHM Expert for preventive actions as well as capture
and relocation to a Shelter/Sanctuary as advised by Wildlife Department of GONCT of Delhi.
DIAL is also exploring the possibility of using innovative methods to prevent problem animals
from entering air side and to enhance air safety.
For preventing water-logging on Air Side, ASO/ASM arranges with the help of Civil Engineering
Maintenance to level and grade the airport ground filling up low-lying areas, de-silt and clean
drains periodically and once before onset of Monsoon.
For Denying food and water to birds and animals hazardous to Aircraft, ASO/ASM arranges to
maintain the height of vegetation on Air Side at 6 or lower in all seasons, apply eco-friendly
biocides to control vegetation and pests, cover large wet drains to prevent access to birds and
animals as well as streamline garbage collection and disposal carried out by the Contractor.
For denying perching, roosting, and breeding facilities to birds and animals ASO/ASM arranges to
remove all shrubs, trees, and unnecessary structures on Air Side and Bird-/Animal-proof all utility
structures on Air Side.
For gathering data on bird concentrations and scaring them to prevent bird-aircraft hits, Apron
Control/ASO/ASM engages bird chasers and sharp shooters in required numbers by deploying
them on the Runway Shoulders to scare away birds frequenting active runways using high
intensity / high decibel crackers or gunshots under the guidance of BASHM Expert (Ornithologist).
State-of-the- art bird scaring devices or bird-hit avoidance technologies are being acquired after
testing and evaluation. ASO/ASM arranges for class-room and field training of Airfield Monitoring
Inspectors, Apron Control Officers and Staff Members in BASH Management to be imparted by
BASHM Expert (Ornithologist).
4.1
Rules to save Aircraft from Collisions with Birds/Animals and Foreign Object Debris
(FOD):
Do not indulge in littering on Air Side with garbage and Foreign Object Debris (FOD) as this is like
asking your fellow brethren to pay for your negligence and ignorance in the form of aircraft
delays, incidents and accidents.
Do not litter Air Side with plastic bottles, plastic bags and other garbage as they clog the drains
leading to water-logging and bird/animal concentrations, resulting their collisions with aircraft.
Do not feed birds or animals including dogs/cats/monkeys at the airport, Air Side, in or near
terminal buildings. Doing so is a punishable offence.
Do not dump any sort of garbage anywhere on airside as birds not only feed on littered edible
garbage but also pick up straps, threads & ropes for nesting material.
Do not forget that littering Air Side or any area within Airport or within 10 km radius of Airport, with
garbage attractive to birds and animal may warrant jail term or fine or both for the miscreant.
4.2
To achieve higher standards in garbage discipline DIAL wants all agencies on Air Side to
obey following directions:
Secure all garbage in bio-degradable polythene bags and safely deposit them in the nearest
garbage bins
101 of123
Close the lid of the garbage bin tightly to deny food to scavenging birds and animals that are
proven hazards to flight safety of aircraft
Do not throw any garbage including plastic bags, empty water bottles, newspaper, plastic straps,
tapes, ropes, threads, paper cups, paper plates, silver foils, and left-over of food on apron, or
anywhere on Air Side other than in garbage bins
4.3
DIAL expects 100% participation of airlines, passengers, Ground-Handling Agents (GHAs)

and all other agencies in better garbage discipline that are as follows:
Manifest your belongingness to our airport to solve most of the problems in garbage
management.
Show a sense of discipline and hygiene as staff members and officers of Airlines, GroundHandling Agents and other agencies, as you spend 8-12 hours a day here.
Express a WILL to have a total participation in garbage discipline and there will be a WAY to
convert Delhi IGI Airport into one of the cleanest airports in the world.

2.1
Applicability
This policy shall be applicable only to the commercial domestic airlines for allotment of hangar space at
Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA). This policy does not cover the hangar space allotment to the
charter aircrafts and general aviation, which shall be undertaken by the Fixed Based Operator (FBO)
separately.
2.2
Governing factors for Hangar land/space allotment:
The following factors shall be considered while allotting land for hangars to the commercial domestic
airlines:
I. Air Traffic Movements (ATMs) For an airline to be considered for allotment of land for hangar,
it must account for a minimum of 10% of total ATMs of the commercial domestic airlines of the
preceding 12 months at IGIA. In case of a new airline, it shall be eligible for allotment only after
it completes 1 full year on date of application, throughout which its ATMs share has continued
to remain over 10% of the total domestic commercial ATMs at IGIA.
II. Existing area The land already occupied by the airline for hangar at IGIA shall be assessed
vis--vis the additional requirements submitted by the airline. Any further allotment of land for
hangar use would only be done if it ensures the most optimum use of the available land, which
in certain cases could involve partial/complete surrender of the existing land in lieu of the new
land. The authority to take such decisions shall rest with the commercial team of Delhi
International Airport Private Limited (DIAL), which would take inputs from the Airport
Development (APD) team and seek approval on its recommendations from MD/CEO.
III. Credit history The promptness and regularity of payments of the airline to DIAL shall also be
considered. Airlines that have a history of delayed or non payments would not be allotted any
further land for hangars unless.
a.
b.
the total outstanding as on a particular date is cleared; or

specifically approved by the MD/CEO in this regard.
IV. Date of application Everything else remaining same, the airline which submits the application
earlier than others shall be given due credence while allotment of land for the hangar.
2.3
Existing hangars - Renewal of License:

The renewal of license terms for existing hangars as on August, 2008 shall be undertaken as follows:
I. Hangar land allotted to commercial airlines shall be renewed by executing fresh license
agreement as per the prevalent rates. However, renewal by execution of fresh license
agreement shall entirely be the prerogative of DIAL and would be subject to considerations
104 of123
such as airport development, allotment of new/additional area to the airline and any other factor
which may influence DIALs decision in regard to the same.
II. Hangar land/space allotted to charter aircrafts shall be renewed by executing fresh license
agreement at the prevalent rates as escalated by 7.5% per annum till the expiry of period of
license. For agreements which have already expired, renewal by executing fresh license
agreement shall be done for the next six months or till the time FBO is in place, whichever is
earlier.
2.4
Guidelines for development of hangars:

The following guidelines shall prevail for development of hangars:
I. All investments towards construction of hangars and associated taxiways shall be undertaken
by the concerned licensee. The licensee shall construct the hangars and taxiways as per the
specifications issued by DIAL and shall confirm to standards as prescribed by DIAL.
II. To ensure the prudent use of the land licensed to the lessee, the following milestones from the
date of license would need to be achieved by the airline:
a) Finalization of architectural design - within 2 months
b) Commencement of construction - within 4 months
c) Commissioning - within 20 months
In case the licensee fails to achieve the milestones as laid above, and the delay is not explained
to the satisfaction of DIAL, it would be within the rights of DIAL to terminate the license with
immediate effect.
2.5
Guidelines for operation:

The hangar land shall be licensed to the licensee for its own use only for the purpose of hangar
utilization only. However, in the event of exceptional circumstances wherein an airlines not having
hangar space at IGIA, needs to avail the hangar owing to operational exigencies, the licensee shall
be allowed to service the aircraft subject to the following:
