KARFA,

HAL, in consultation with ATC, decided on the names.

27R is 'space', TITAN, PLUTO, SATUN (and there used to be ROKIT too)

(interestingly, on our flight strips PLUTO is abbreviated to PLU, SATUN to SAT, but TITAN doesn't get abbreviated.......hmmmmm)

27L is Scottish lochs (LOMAN, ETTIV, MORRA, NEVIS, LOKKI)

09R is aircraft manufacturers (DASSO, HANLI, VIKAS, HORKA and OSTER)

09L are animals (SNAPA, DINGO, RABIT, COBRA)
