Lucknow, Nov 27 (PTI) A bi-annual Full Scale Aerodrome Emergency Exercise (FSAEE) — Sahas 2024 — was conducted at the Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport (CCSIA) here on Wednesday, an official statement said.
The event, held in alignment with the regulatory authorities, the Lucknow district administration and the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), aimed to test and enhance the airport’s emergency response capabilities and inter-agency coordination.
It simulated a scenario where an ‘XYZ’ airlines flight — ABC-123 — from Kolkata to Lucknow with 101 passengers burst into flames due to engine failure near the Taxiway Mike on runway No. 27.

The key stakeholders, including the Aerodrome Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) unit, Apron Control, district administration, hospitals, CISF, Indian Air Force, SDRF, Uttar Pradesh, fire brigade, ATC, AAI, BCAS, DGCA, airlines, Customs, immigration and various internal as well as external agencies, actively took part in the drill that started at 10:57 am and concluded at 12:06 pm, the statement said.
