Saab and Airservices Australia have signed a master service agreement for the airports in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth. The agreement reinforces the long-term commitment and partnership between Saab and Airservices Australia.
The service agreement ensures that Airservices Australia will have Saab’s advanced tower automation system with the latest version of Saab Integrated Air Traffic Control Suite (I-ATS) advanced automation product installed and kept up to date for its largest airports in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth. This solution has the possibility to extend to other airports. In addition, Saab is establishing an ATM centre of excellence in Australia to support Airservices Australia in its operations. This paves the way towards further digitalization and long-term development of the Australian aviation sector.
“At Saab we are transforming our product portfolio to adapt to the evolving new digital landscape and we look forward to shaping this in close collaboration with Airservices Australia”, says Cecilia Larsson, head of Saab Air Traffic Management.
“Airservices Australia welcomes the continued partnership with Saab through this new service agreement, which supports our major airports with advanced tower automation technology,” said Mark Hind, Airservices Australia Chief Technology Enablement Officer.
“Saab’s investment in an ATM Centre of Excellence in Australia aligns with our commitment to innovation and the safe, efficient management of air traffic across the country. As the provider of critical air navigation technology and equipment, Airservices plays a vital role in ensuring aviation safety at major and regional airports, aerodromes, and airstrips nationwide.”
Airservices Australia is a government-owned organisation responsible for safely and efficiently managing air traffic in 11 per cent of the world’s airspace, as well as the provision of aviation rescue fire-fighting services at Australia's busiest airports. It provides world-leading tower and approach services to manage the safe, orderly flow of aircraft through, into and out of Australia’s airspace.
