Nepal’s only international airport Tribhuvan International

KATHMANDU, MAY 25 -

Nepal’s only international airport Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) is preparing to install the Required Navigation Performance Approach (RNP-AR) system. According to an official of the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN), the new system will come into operation in seven months.

RNP is a satellite-based navigation system and procedure, and introduces technological innovations in areas such as weather forecast, digital communications and networking providing efficiency and operational benefits to airports and aircraft.

The RNP concept permits flights in any airspace within prescribed accuracy tolerances and without the need to fly directly over ground-based navigation facilities.
