India, May 14 -- The Federal Aviation Administration has announced that it is investing $16.5 million for improving airport safety in the country. With the funds, FAA plans to equip all its airport vehicles with transponders that help air traffic controllers identify and track them on runways and taxiways.
The FAA also reminded airports this week that they can use federal grant money to install transponders on their vehicles, and recommends they encourage airlines and others that operate on the airfield to follow suit. More than 50 airports have already expressed interest in this, and the FAA is exploring additional ways to get this equipment into more vehicles.
