Indra has won a contract to modernize the air traffic management systems of the five control centers in Argentina, which provide coverage to the entire country.
Argentina’s ANSP Empresa Argentina de Navegación Aérea (EANA) is to use Indra’s ManagAir air traffic automation solution to standardize all of its systems with high safety levels. This will allow the region to increase its capacity, optimize resources and move towards more sustainable and efficient aviation.
Indra's system will integrate all the air traffic management (ATM) processes that occur in the different phases of flight into a single centralized suite and equip it with en-route, approach and control tower management services systems.
Indra's technology will allow the country's air traffic to be managed more smoothly thanks to the incorporation of 4D trajectory management functionalities, conflict detection and more advanced safety networks. These features allow for more precise and efficient route planning, which reduces fuel consumption and, therefore, CO2 emissions, as well as trimming flight times for passengers and improving communication between all carriers at Argentine airports and those in other countries.
Indra is already upgrading and integrating the air traffic control systems of the Central American Corporation for Air Navigation Services (COCESNA), which includes Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala and Nicaragua. This project will strengthen the single sky of Central America thanks to the creation of a set of completely interconnected, integrated and standardized airspaces in Latin America.
Indra's air traffic management solutions have been implemented in Argentina for over 30 years, with the deployment of advanced technologies, landing assistance systems and surveillance radar at Ezeiza International Airport in Buenos Aires, the country's main terminal.
Indra’s systems are in operation in almost all of the countries of Latin America, at 70% of the control centers in Latin America (30 centers in total), with nearly fifty air traffic surveillance radars and a similar number of radio navigation systems. In total, five hundred Indra air traffic systems are supporting air traffic management in the continent.
