Technical services solutions - Equipping you for the future

Investing in equipment is an operational necessity for air navigation services (ANS) organisations - but getting it right can be an operational and financial nightmare.

The ICAO Global CNS/ATM Plan is driving significant new technical investment. However, determining which elements of CNS/ATM are most appropriate to your particular needs can be a challenge. Many states are purchasing unnecessary elements - things that are in the Global Plan but not actually required by that state.

Financial constraints and approval processes are preventing states from investing in essential new equipment. Meanwhile, generations of past equipment still in use may mean a lack of integration and some unnecessary duplication, or expensive equipment simply not being used.

Preparing and evaluating tenders can also bring many challenges, for which you may need to implement a well organised and formal process that ensures projects proceed on time and to budget. And when the projects are underway, you may need help with installing and maintaining equipment - and with training for your own staff.

If you're looking to ensure you have the equipment you need for the future, Airways International can help, with extensive experience in managing equipment investment projects around the world.
