The government is introducing a new system called AMHS to replace the old AMSS at all airports in India.
This decision comes after a problem occurred at Delhi International Airport on November 6, where there were delays in processing important messages for air traffic control.
The issue was fixed within two days.
The Minister of Civil Aviation said that the old systems are being upgraded, and a thorough check of all equipment at airports will be done to prevent such problems in the future.
This is to make sure that air travel is safe and runs smoothly.
