SITA’s AIRCOM Server Flight Tracker solution combines SITA’s airline dispatcher centre system and airline operations centre system (AIRCOM) server with its Future Air Navigation System (FANS) ground application, which is available to air navigation service providers (ANSPs).

"Aircraft tracking mechanisms are increasingly important for the safety of passengers."

Using the flight tracker solution, airline flight dispatchers can track unexpected aircraft movements by using the FANS Automatic Dependent Surveillance Contract application to request aircraft position reports across the ANSPs borders.

Airlines can also be notified about the unexpected loss of contact between their aircraft and air traffic control FANS ground systems.
