Mar 01, 2017 (newstodate): Together with Chicago O'Hare Int'l Airport, Copenhagen Airport has been selected by Emirates to test a new Finnish-developed solution to improve airline efficiencies, reduce environmental impact, and maintain a strong aviation winter safety record.
Vaisala, a leader in environmental and industrial measurement, is working with Emirates on a new decision support system for winter weather.
The combination cloud service and equipment tested by Emirates, called CheckTime, monitors winter conditions and provides information to pilots so they can make decisions about keeping wings free of ice and snow.
Emirates picked Copenhagen and Chicago as testing stations for CheckTime because both destinations experience adverse winter conditions.
In addition, both Copenhagen and Chicago are serviced by the Airbus A380 and the Boeing 777 aircraft, respectively, allowing Emirates to gain fleet wide experience for the performance of the CheckTime decision support system in winter weather.
A decision to expand CheckTime to other Emirates' stations with winter weather will be made following a thorough and complete analysis of test results.
