India, taking a significant step toward aiding safe takeoffs and landings when faced with extremely low visibility at airports, is developing a runway assessment system called the Drishti Transmissometer.
Jet Airways named aviation specialist Cramer Ball as its new chief executive officer. Jet’s last CEO, Garry Kenneth Toomey, quit in mid-January, barely seven months after taking charge of the airline. Gaurang Shetty, the airline’s director and manager, will continue to lead it “till the requisite approvals are obtained and Ball assumes charge as the CEO,” a Jet Airways spokesman says.
