Port Blair, April 21: 18th April 2024 at 5:30 AM was the historical moment for civil aviation in the Andaman & Nicobar Islands as the Instrument Landing System (ILS) became operational at Veer Savarkar International Airport Port Blair. Indigo flight 6E 526 was the first flight which landed using ILS approach at 6:29 AM under the command of Captain Jaya Kumar Munuswamy.
