SITAONAIR<\/a> has been instrumental in the expansion of Very High Frequency (VHF) coverage throughout Turkey, during the development of the country\u2019s largest new airport hub in Istanbul, which opened in April 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SITAONAIR\u2019s expansion of the current VHF infrastructure\nenhances operations for airlines serving the regional domestic market and the\ncountry\u2019s main airports. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the 29 existing VHF antennae which currently\nserve Turkey\u2019s main cities, including Istanbul, Ankara, and Antalya, SITAONAIR\nis planning to install a further 14 at six additional sites across the country.\nThis will include six new antennae at Istanbul Airport which opened its doors\non 6 April 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Istanbul Airport<\/a> covers around 76.5 square kilometers and plans to accommodate up to 200 million passengers per year upon the completion of all phases. The developments come at a time when Istanbul\u2019s air transport management services face increasingly busy traffic through the flight corridor between Europe and Asia, which spans the region, following the recent closure of Istanbul Atat\u00c3\u00bcrk Airport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SITAONAIR has worked consistently to improve and evolve from\nits VHF origins by embracing satellite services and VHF Digital Link (VDL) to\ndeal with steep rises in air traffic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stephan Egli, Commercial VP Middle-East, Africa & Europe\ncomments: \u201cThe expansion of VHF coverage in the region comes at a vital time\nfor the country\u2019s airport migration process. Our inherent expertise in serving\nthe air transport industry make SITAONAIR the right partner at a crucial time\nwhere air traffic is booming and in need of a seamless transition, alongside\ncarriers like Turkish Airlines, Pegasus and Sun Express who are poised to\nsupport the region\u2019s increased passenger demands. As always, SITAONAIR is proud\nto support the aviation sector throughout its growth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
