SITA has been chosen by the Polish Air
Navigation Services Agency (PANSA) to digitally transform
air/ground communications and boost air traffic safety and
efficiency in the country.
As part of a
four-year contract, eight
of Poland’s international airports will participate: Warsaw,
Krakow, Gdansk, Katowice, Modlin, Wroclaw, Poznan, and Rzeszow.
Maciej Rodak, Vice President for Air Navigation,
PANSA, said, “Poland is the main eastern gateway into the EU and
one of the largest airspaces in Europe. We’re leveraging the
latest technologies to ensure the safety of the passengers and
airlines using our airspace, which represents almost 2000 flights
every day. We have been working with SITA since 2017, and we are
confident they can support our needs.”
SITA has been chosen to upgrade air traffic communications at airports in Poland
Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs), like
PANSA, must be able to manage efficient, reliable, clear, and
important data exchanges with aircraft pilots, such as clearance
for departures.
To meet this critical need for communicating with
air traffic management systems and aircraft, moving from voice to
digital departure clearance with SITA’s ATC Datalink Services will
enable the efficient and safe running of the airspace overseen by
PANSA.
The Departure Clearance (DCL) datalink service
supports the digital exchange of departure clearances between the
air traffic controller and the pilot and easily interfaces with
other systems used by the Air Traffic Controller Officer (ATCO).
DCL is faster and more accurate because it reduces
misunderstandings often associated with conventional,
lower-quality voice communications. It increases safety and
reduces delays by ensuring correct, timely clearances reach the
intended aircraft.
Yann Cabaret, CEO, SITA for Aircraft, said, “We’re
delighted to be continuing our partnership with PANSA. Our DCL datalink service will help modernize air traffic communications in
Poland, supporting safety and efficiency as travel rebounds.”
