Apr 01, 2016 (newstodate): Norway's Avinor has decided to invest in an upgrade of its existing ATM system, and enter the iTEC alliance in collaboration with NATS.
Avinor's existing technical platform was developed in the early 1990s and, as with many European ATM systems, needs to be developed to meet future requirements in en-route and approach services in the form of an upgraded system enabling Avinor to deliver on the targets set by SESAR and the Single European Sky program.
Following an extensive evaluation of commercial and technological options, Avinor aims to develop its existing technology from INDRA by entering the iTEC alliance in collaboration with NATS.
By entering the iTEC alliance, Avinor becomes part of part of Europe's largest ATM system collaboration alongside ANSPs in Spain, Germany, the UK and the Netherlands together with systems provider Indra.
Lithuania and Poland also intend to enter the alliance.
By pooling resources, members of the alliance gain in cost-efficiency, systems reliability and connectivity as well as gaining stronger purchase powers.
