SITAONAIR\u2019s market-leading solution meets the airline flight-tracking challenge by gathering data from multiple global sources, filling in any gaps between terrestrial tracking sources to help improve flight operations.<\/p>\n<p>AIRCOM\u00ae FlightTracker is unique in that it can deliver this service using equipment already present on most aircraft \u2013 without the need for modifications or additional avionics \u2013 making it the industry\u2019s cost effective, swift-to-deploy, flight-tracking solution.<\/p>\n<p>The Jeju Air and SITAONAIR AIRCOM solutions agreement will also see the airline\u2019s fleet upgraded with SITAONAIR\u2019s FlightMessenger, which ensures seamless, intelligent cockpit communications. FlightMessenger achieves this by integrating and translating cockpit data into a format feeding directly into airlines\u2019 pre-existing IT infrastructure, improving data communication efficiency and effectiveness.<\/p>\n<p>Kim Sanghoon, Director of Operations Control Center at Jeju Air, said: \u201cJeju Air selected SITAONAIR\u2019s AIRCOM\u00ae FlightTracker and FlightMessenger after extensively evaluating the full range of products on the market. SITAONAIR\u2019s solutions appealed to us for their rich functionality, seamless integration with our airline systems, their user-friendliness, and top quality customer support.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Katrina Korzenowski, Vice President Asia-Pacific at SITAONAIR, said: \u201cToday\u2019s airlines face a number of practical challenges in tracking their aircraft, which we at SITAONAIR have made our mission to empower them to overcome. A wide variety of technologies exist to track aircraft, but these technologies have not been consistently integrated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur AIRCOM\u00ae FlightTracker arms airlines with the powerful flight-tracking capabilities they need to actively enhance their flight operations and meet the ICAO\u2019s forthcoming 15- and one-minute tracking best-practice requirements. By pulling together and integrating a wealth of aircraft position sources, including ACARS, ADS-B, radar and ATC Datalink, our AIRCOM\u00ae FlightTracker offers 100% global, real-time coverage to all airlines \u2013 without the need for costly modifications.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In bringing together the best available inflight position data from multiple sources in one application, SITAONAIR\u2019s AIRCOM\u00ae FlightTracker empowers airline cockpit crews and operations teams to maintain more accurate aircraft awareness. The knowledge that bridges any ANSP tracking gaps may include problematic weather and expected en-route turbulence information, helping to improve flight operations and support timely pilot decision-making.<\/p>\n<p>AIRCOM\u00ae FlightTracker also enables automated reporting in both normal and abnormal operations, and can also be configured to help airlines meet the ICAO\u2019s one-minute distress tracking standard \u2013 four years before its introduction.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about SITAONAIR\u2019s AIRCOM\u00ae FlightTracker and FlightMessenger, visit www.sitaonair.aero, submit an enquiry form or speak to your local SITAONAIR contact.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jeju Air has become South Korea\u2019s first low-cost carrier (LCC) to adopt SITAONAIR\u2019s AIRCOM\u00ae FlightTracker, equipping the carrier to meet the incoming International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) 2018 flight-tracking mandate.
