Veer Savarkar International Airport, Port Blair, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India
The airport has a single runway of 3,290 m (10,794 ft) in length, accommodating most wide-body aircraft, that includes Airbus 320, Airbus 321, Boeing 737, which regularly serve Veer Savarkar airport. An ILS is available for low visibility operations, but pilots are responsible to check with local authorities to verify the system is operational prior to the flight. Earlier there was a road across the runway; traffic had to be stopped in order for aircraft to take off, similar to the Gibraltar Airport. Today, there is no such road across the airport and therefore there is no more traffic or flight disruption.
