Check in to the future
How many aircraft can your
airport handle today?
Can this number be increased
without adverse effects on the
airports safety level?
It is a known fact that traffic
volume will rise in the foreseeable
future. More movements will
demand monitoring of the entire
airport. Requirements will be
sharpened and the development
of an integrated system
controlling not only ground
movements but also air traffic
close to the airport is of the
highest interest.
The International Civil Aviation
Organization (ICAO) already
describes A-SMGCS, Advanced
Surface Movement Guidance and
Control System, as the answer to
the future modern airport need to
control the entire airport space in
one superior system.
To a larger extent than todays
systems, A-SMGCS will rely on
automated processes to give both
pilots and traffic controllers exact
information about positions and
directions. Safegate Group
delivers complete A-SMGCS
solutions already, as well as all
vital parts relating to it.
Safegate Group can check your
airport into the future
