The study is aimed at making state-of-the-art simulations and comparing them with the ICAO standard tolerances which will help in improving capacity in low visibility conditions and match future GBAS CAT III standards, outsmarting the current standards.

"We strongly believe that Zürich International Airport will benefit from Airbus innovations in air traffic management technology."

Zürich Airport head of flight operations engineering Jann Döbelin was quoted by Airport World as saying: "Airbus ProSky is the recognised leader on ILS interference study and their ELISE software allows them to make predictions that have been proven reliable and close to reality."

With the aim of optimising the aircraft separation in CAT III operations, the airport has invested in 32 elements ILS antenna and is also developing optimised concepts of operations.
