Civil Aviation Ministry on 23 August has exempted Boeing 787 aircraft from GPS-aided GEO Augmented Navigation (GAGAN) compliance till 2025.

"Boeing 787 aircraft is exempted from above GAGAN compliance till 31 December, 2025," Ministry said in a release.

GAGAN (GPS Aided GEO Augmented Navigation) is an Indian Satellite Based Augmentation System implemented to provide required navigation guidance to aircraft.

GAGAN is developed jointly by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and the Airports Authority of India (AAI). GAGAN was designed to assist navigation- both en route as well as during landing. Its main aim is passengers' safety by guiding pilots to precision landing on runways.

It helps the aviation industry in maintaining safety with increased traffic and reducing the infrastructure needed on the ground.

Besides aviation, it provides services in forest management, railway signalling, scientific research for atmospheric studies, natural resource and land management, location-based services, mobile, and tourism.
