It is important to note that the calibration process for Jewar International Airport was conducted successfully between October 15 and 18, 2023. This process involved testing the runway and landing systems by conducting continuous calibration flights over four to five days.

These tests were deemed successful, and the complete data has been submitted to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
