The Airports Authority of India (AAI) is struggling to convince commercial airlines to use the GPS Aided Geo Augmented Navigation (GAGAN) satellite-based augmentation system, but it hopes for a better reception from the general aviation community.

GAGAN "is a big opportunity for India", said S V Satish, former ATM general manager for GAGAN and now executive director for safety at the AAI. "We should take the lead in marketing GAGAN to neighbouring countries."
