CPDLC India
Calcutta, and probably Delhi and Bombay, have had CPDLC for 7 years that I know of. Yet it is still on test. In the meantime we are still using HF to contact Calcutta when over Burma, (or Myanmar as we now call it). Does anyone know when the Indians are going to unpack all the boxes.
China has had CPDLC for a much shorter period and in less time than it takes Delhi immigration to clear a 747 load of pax, the Chinese are operational with theirs. Myanmar have also received CPDLC and although it is not yet operational, I bet it will not still be under test in 7 years.
Does anyone have a progress report from Calcutta?
