ASECNA and Indra complete modernization of air navigation systems at 17 african airports
The sucessful installation of Indra’s state-of-the-art systems enhances landing safety at these airports managed by ASECNA, an intergovernmental organization providing air navigation services to 17 countries in Africa
The project stands out with its impressive scale and complexity, with 17 installations across 12 countries, and its successful execution in less than 24 months
ASECNA and Indra are pleased to announce the successful completion of a significant project aimed at enhancing landing safety across 17 airports in Africa. This milestone marks the culmination of a contract valued at 15 million euros, awarded to Indra for the renewal of air traffic navigation systems.
Within a project timeframe of less than 24 months, Indra has delivered and installed its state-of-the-art Normarc instrument landing systems (ILS) and distance measuring equipment (DME) in 17 airports across 12 countries operated by ASECNA. The project included end-to-end delivery of 12 DMEs, 18 localizers and 14 glide paths.
During the project, Indra provided comprehensive technical training to nearly 100 technicians and engineers from ASECNA’s Air Traffic Safety Electronic Personnel (ATSEP).
“This project represents a strategic investment for ASECNA. It underscores our steadfast commitment to modernizing our infrastructure and ensuring safe, efficient air operations across our vast airspace. We will continue to work closely with trusted technological partners to ensure the safety and efficiency of our air operations”, according to the Director General of ASECNA Prosper ZO’O MINTO’O.
“This is one of our largest and most complex air navigation projects ever, and we managed to deliver ahead of schedule. ASECNA and Indra share the same commitment to enhancing flight safety and efficiency, and it has been a true pleasure to work with ASECNA on this project”, says Enrique Castillo, ATM Business Development Director at Indra.
This project reinforces Indra’s position as a trusted partner in the field of ground-based air navigation systems, known for its technical competence and professional customer service. The successful implementation of these systems in airports across Benin, Cameroon, Congo, Ivory Coast, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Madagascar, Mauritania, Chad, Togo, Burkina Faso, and Senegal (Technical department's maintenance lab) will significantly enhance landing safety and airport operational efficiency.
