The Challenge of Growth
We manage air traffic operations for more than 3 million domestic and international passenger flights, carrying some 47 million passengers.
The aviation industry is experiencing strong growth, with air traffic in the Asia-Pacific region forecast to double in the next decade. With this growth we will need to use existing airspace more efficiently.
Together with the aviation community we are now turning to new techniques and technologies to cater for this growth.
One such system is Green Approaches, which are often referred to in the aviation industry as Required Navigation Performance (RNP) approaches.
Green Approaches are based on the RNP avionics navigation system of Naverus. This system has been identified by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to be introduced to US, European and Australian airspace.
Naverus is based in the United States and Australia, and specialises in the development of ‘next generation’ navigation solutions designed for modern aircraft.
