Papua New Guinea Using Aireon Data for Reduced Separation

Utilizing Aireon LLC’s (Aireon) space-based Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) data services, Papua New Guinea’s National Air Navigation Services Provider (ANSP), NiuSky Pacific Limited (NSPL), is achieving unparalleled operational efficiencies for its airspace through reduced surveillance-based separation standards. NSPL, which has been operational with Aireon data since 2020, is now using space-based ADS-B in the application of a surveillance-based separation standard of 20 nautical miles (NM), which has facilitated the application of flexible routing throughout the airspace and the application of less-restrictive separation. Aireon’s space-based ADS-B services are particularly critical for the…

India Optimizes Airspace with ADS-B Deployment

Airports Authority of India (AAI), which controls the third-largest airspace area in the world, is the first in South Asia to successfully deploy Aireon’s satellite-based ADS-B air traffic surveillance system. During trials completed in the past 18 months, the government-backed group successfully tested Aireon’s ADS-B Out service across the Mumbai, Chennai, and Kolkata oceanic airspace. Before the deployment of the Aireon system, controllers typically kept aircraft at inefficient flight levels because of the high traffic volumes and lack of radar coverage. This resulted in more fuel burned and thus higher costs…

India’s Oceanic Airspace Gets an Eye in the Sky for Air Traffic Surveillance

India’s oceanic airspace has got an additional layer of air traffic surveillance that will allow aircraft to fly at economic flight levels in terms of fuel burn.  The Airports Authority of India (AAI) last week deployed Aireon’s space-based automatic dependent surveillance broadcast (ADS-B) air traffic surveillance system deployed across Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata’s oceanic airspaces. This will provide an additional layer of surveillance, backing up the existing ground-based network. Read Full Article
