By GlobalData“Our organisations have a great deal of experience and expertise that we can share to our mutual advantage and for the benefit of the aviation sector in this region.”
Discussions between MITRE and Airways are currently under progress regarding two potential airspace projects. The partners will get the advantage from their complementary capabilities and experiences in maximising runway capacity, and advanced airspace and procedure design.
Airways information management and navigation subsidiary Aeropath has previously supported MITRE in carrying out projects at Changi Airport in Singapore.
Airways also teamed up with MITRE for a period of ten years for deploying a new air traffic management system to Taiwan Civil Aeronautics Administration.
MITRE vice president Gregg Leone says: “We are delighted to formalise our relationship with Airways to better support aviation growth and efficiency in the Asia Pacific region. The partnership brings together the best in class advanced research, big data analytics, system development, and air navigation operations to solve immediate needs in the region.”
