"We greatly appreciate that our long-term co-operation with LGS has resulted in this shared service, and we expect more similar ventures in the future."

LGS will also remotely operate the EANS communication centre on behalf of EANS.  

LGS board chairman Davids Taurins said: “We very much appreciate that EANS has selected LGS to provide the AFTN/AMHS operator services, as this not only proves the high qualification of our experts, but also helps intensify the competitive potential of our company in the air navigation and related services market.”

EANS board chairman Tanel Rautits said: “The Estonian ANS has been amongst the most cost-efficient ANSPs in Europe for the last 20 years always striving for efficient and high-quality service. Co-operation with LGS will support both of these objectives by providing us a quality service and boosting efficiency by using the shared workforce.

"We greatly appreciate that our long-term co-operation with LGS has resulted in this shared service, and we expect more similar ventures in the future."

In June, a framework agreement for this cooperation was signed to avail mutual benefits, enable cost optimisation and a qualified service. 

Last year, EANS acquired a modern AFTN/AMHS system from Frequentis, a manufacturer of communication, information and tower automation systems for managing air traffic.

LGS was also chosen for the delivery of the outsourced AFTN/AMHS operator services.
