SITA and EGIS bring NTAs closer to single European sky with data link solution

Travel Event NewsAir transport communications specialist SITA, and Egis - through its subsidiary Egis Avia announced that they have been selected by NATS to provide the air traffic control service provider with a state-of-the-art data link front end processor (DL-FEP) and Pro-ATN routers. This will enable NATS, which services aircraft flying in UK airspace and the eastern part of the North Atlantic, to meet the European Commission's 2013 deadline for the implementation of controller pilot data link communications (CPDLC) across Europe.

The regulations require western European air navigations service providers (ANSPs) to equip their air traffic control (ATC) centers with data link systems by 2013 and require operators of aircraft flying in their airspace to install ATC data link avionics by 2015.
