Survival opportunity for smaller airports with low traffic density
More efficient and cost effective TWR service
• Large scale operation
• Difficult to recruit to distant airports
• Ability to sequenced control of small airports
• Multi airport control
• Possible shared use of the APP-resources
Increase ATC operation by utilizing the staff in a more cost effective way
• Lack of educated or trained people when expanding the operation
• Multi airport control – one controller will be able to control up to 3 airports
The ability to have 7/24 SAR operation
• Flexibility to open up airfields
Alternatives to new construction or refurbishment of the tower
> 30 customers in queue…..
