It allows users to monitor all flight movements in real-time and plan their routes accordingly.

Hamburg Airport operational services manager Christian Schultz said: “We are happy to have found an innovative, flexible and mobile radar display in PHOENIX WebInnovation and to be the first airport in Germany that uses the system.

The airport has been using Phoenix System for the apron management service and traffic management center.

The system has become operational for the first time following successful recent trials.

Phoenix WebInnovation is also being deployed in the control tower of Adolf Wurth Airport, near Schwäbisch Hall in the south-west of Germany.
