KAC already relies on Indra for its InNOVA tower systems. The latest contract is the first for navigational aids.

Commenting on the development, KAC manager Yongcheol Lee said: “Indra has been a professional partner in this and previous projects and has demonstrated their competence within navigation. We look forward to starting using the Normarc navigation systems.”

Indra international sales manager Tomas Lübeck added: “KAC’s quality requirements are high, even for the air traffic industry. Yet, our systems have passed all flight checks. We are proud to be the preferred supplier and look forward to working with KAC on this project.”
