Indra has installed its automated air traffic management system and the corresponding work stations for air traffic controllers (ATC) at the new approach centre and the new control tower.
The airport will also be able to improve its weather prediction capabilities with a meteorological information system.
In February 2010, Indra received a €85m contract from Oman’s Ministry Of Transportation And Communication for the modernisation of the country’s ATC systems within a period of 38 months.
The company has also installed an airport management centre, a control centre at the new passenger terminal where airport authority will work with police operators to handle passenger arrival and departure operations.
