SITAONAIR has successfully expanded the operational capacity\nof air traffic service (ATS) datalink across Brazil\u2019s airports, in a crucial\nstep towards modernizing air traffic control operations in the country as air\ntraffic continues to rise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The development of the service follows SITAONAIR\u2019s\ninstrumental work with Brazil\u2019s Department of Airspace Control (DECEA), as part\nof the wider Brazilian Air Navigation Modernization SIRIUS program to advance\nATS Datalink services. The deployment of services for The Commission for the\nImplementation of the Airspace Control System (CISCEA) to 24 control towers\nacross Brazil began in June 2016, ahead of the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.\nSince then, the initiative, in partnership with SITAONAIR\u2019s specialist air\ntraffic control partners Saipher and ATC Systems has continued to evolve,\nincreasing safety, sustainability and operational efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a result, DECEA has seen an increase in aircraft opting\nto access voice and datalink ATIS (D-ATIS) as well as DCL (Datalink Departure\nClearance Service) information in a more digital, convenient and secure manner,\nwith approximately 250 departure clearances issued a day and 20,000 D-ATIS\nrequests a month from the country\u2019s major airports. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 2016 Olympic Games saw usage peak for both services,\nwith S\u00c3\u00a3o Paulo International Airport alone contributing to 25% of all\npre-Future Air Navigation Services (pre-FANS) messages exchanged through the\nnew SITAONAIR datalink infrastructure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
SITAONAIR\u2019s most recent infrastructure development in 2018\nincludes establishing services at two additional airports, Rio de Janeiro\u2019s\nSantos Dumont and S\u00c3\u00a3o Paulo\u2019s Campinas, bringing the total number of\nfully-equipped control towers to 26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The implementation of these services in Brazil has been\nembraced by pilots and air traffic controllers alike. Thanks to SITAONAIR\u2019s\nprovision of AIRCOMcats and AIRCOMevatis systems to CISCEA as part of the\ncontract, more than 20,000 D-ATIS pilot requests for Brazilian airports are\nmanaged every month from major airlines across all Brazilian airports. S\u00c3\u00a3o\nPaulo, S\u00c3\u00a3o Paulo Congonhas and Rio Galeao airports cover around 50% of the\npilot requests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis project is a true demonstration of the continued\ncollaboration and success achieved with our customer DECEA and thanks to our\nvarious partners in Brazil, in our efforts to ensure operational efficiency and\nsafety in these increasingly busy skies,\u201d comments Dominique El Bez, SITAONAIR\nVP, Product & Strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Francisco Accacio, Program Manager at CISCEA:\n\u201cWe now have a fully-integrated Datalink Departure Clearance Service (DCL) and\nElectronic Flight Progression Strip (EFPS) environment, thanks to both\nSITAONAIR\u2019s turn-key ATC tower solutions combined with Saipher ATC\u2019s TATIC\n(Total Air Traffic Information Control) tower solution. Of course, none of this\nwould have been possible without the expertise and local knowledge of ATC\nSystems, who not only achieved full installation of the solutions, but\nsupported with training for Brazilian air traffic control operators and\nmaintenance staff.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wesley Marques, Saipher International Business Manager,\nadds: \u201cSaipher ATC highly values the establishment of strategic partnerships\nwith qualified companies such as SITAONAIR, always directing efforts to develop\nsolutions that can increase safety and efficiency in air traffic control.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
