  • Table Top Airports
    Table Top Airports August 11, 2020 An Air India Express flight crashed afterovershooting the runway at Kozhikode airport in Kerala, killing 18 people and injuring scores. A very similar accident at the Mangalore table top airport in 2010 killed 158 people. India’s second tabletop plane crash in a decade has drawn the focus of authorities on these short runways that can challenge even the best of pilots when the weather’s bad. Table Top Airports As the name suggests, it is an airport located and built on top of a plateau or hilly surface, with one or both ends of the runway overlooking a drop. The airports in the country which would count as tabletops, are namely Lengpui (Mizoram), Shimla and Kullu (Himachal Pradesh), Pakyong (Sikkim), Mangaluru (Karnataka), Kozhikode and Kannur (both Kerala). Landing aircraft on tabletop runways, which are located on top of a hill or a plateau with deep gorges running down their sides, is a stiff task in poor weather conditions. According to a senior official at the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), the aviation watchdog, the crash happened because the aircraft landed at the 3,000-foot point on a runway that’s 8,500-foot long. At the Kozhikode tabletop airport, aircraft normally land at 800 feet, but IX1344 landed beyond 3,000 feet, resulting in the accident. The airport at Kozhikode has two runways, both 2,700 metres in length. They have a safety feature called Runway End Safety Area (RESA) of 240 metres, as mandated by the International Civil Aviation Organization, which limits the consequences when aeroplanes overrun the end of a runway.
