ENAV, which is responsible for air traffic management in Italy, has activated its radar surveillance system at Treviso – Antonio Canova Airport. The new service will help manage the volumes of traffic expected to arrive and depart from the airport and enhance the use of the airspace under the control tower’s responsibility, while maintaining safety and efficiency standards.
“ENAV’s people and our technological capacity have made it possible to implement a strategic service for the growth of Treviso Airport, which as of today further raises its operating standards,” said ENAV CEO, Paolo Simioni. “We are convinced that our commitment will bring benefits to the territory and to the whole induced activities,” he continued.
The Air Traffic Services (ATS) surveillance system will provide air traffic control (ATC) services at the airport, which will allow controllers in the tower to observe aircraft operating in the immediate vicinity of the airport in addition to using direct visual observation through radar screens. This implementation has been developed by a new integrated system that acquires the radar data of the Padua Area Control Centre, making available all the information regarding flight plans and radar surveillance.
Controllers employed at Treviso Airport have undergone specific training and are now qualified to to activate the radar surveillance system. The technological and technical aspects of the project were handled by Techno Sky, an ENAV Group company.
