The primary radar will be installed along with a mode S secondary radar previously deployed by Indra.
However, the secondary radar will be relocated to increase CORPAC’s control over a new runway, which is being developed as part of the airport’s expansion plans.
Under the terms of the second contract, the company will deliver an upgraded 3D control tower simulator for the city’s air traffic controller training centre.
The simulator will offer 360° visuals and simulate virtual aircraft and tower approach manoeuvres, as well as pilot-controller communications.
