Lockheed Martin information systems and global solutions business’ transportation solutions vice-president Paul Engola said: "Upgrading SkyLine in Korea offers a new model for technology transfer to our international partners and continues the system’s expansion in the Asia-Pacific region.

"This win affirms SkyLine’s capabilities as a safe, proven and flexible global air traffic management system."

According to an estimate, more than 60% of the world’s air traffic is managed by Lockheed’s air traffic management software and nearly 700 million passengers and three million aircraft movements depend on its airport management software annually.
