Indra announced it will be modernising the air traffic management (ATM) systems of the five control centers in Argentina that cover to the entire country. Empresa Argentina de Navegación Aérea (EANA) has placed its trust in Indra’s ManagAir air traffic automation solution, one of the most advanced on the market today, to standardise all its systems with the highest levels of safety. This will allow the region to increase its capacity, optimise resources and move towards more sustainable and efficient aviation.
Indra’s system will integrate all the air traffic management processes that occur in the different phases of flight into a single centralised 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.
With this contract in Argentina, Indra reinforces its leadership in Latin America, where it is 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 is a pioneering project that will strengthen the single sky of Central America thanks to the creation of a set of completely interconnected, integrated and standardised airspaces in Latin America.
Indra’s air traffic management solutions have been implemented in Argentina for over 30 years, thanks to the deployment of advanced technologies, landing assistance systems and surveillance radar at Ezeiza International Airport in Buenos Aires, the country’s main terminal. Its systems are in operation in practically all the countries of Latin America; it has modernised 70% of the control centers in Latin America (30 centers in total); it has deployed close to fifty air traffic surveillance radars and a similar number of radio navigation systems.
