GVK Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL) recently inducted the first-of-its-kind Advanced Passenger Evacuation Vehicle for rescuing stranded personnel from inaccessible areas of aircraft, wherein conventional alighting systems cannot be employed. The vehicle covers all types of aircraft currently used in the Aviation Industry, including A380, which is the biggest civilian aircraft available today.
In the unlikely event of an aircraft veering away from its normal path, this equipment can be rushed to the spot and the attached ladder can be extended up to the aircraft door for passengers or crew to be safely evacuated.
