After the control tower at Milan Malpensa airport, the Linate one is also going digital. He communicates it the Enav, the company that manages civil air traffic in Italy, through a note in which I announce that I have completed the digitization of the operating system of the Milan Linate tower.
Le new technological features they have been operational since the end of February and make it possible to manage the information and data useful for managing the movement of aircraft, ground vehicles and aircraft in flight in the immediate vicinity of the airport in real time and in interactive mode. In short, the system makes it possible to manage traffic at the airport, guaranteeing better standards of efficiency and punctuality, but also a lower environmental impact deriving from the reduction of waiting times and therefore of fuel consumption.
THECEO of Enav, Paolo Simioni, he declared: “Technological innovation, the digitization of systems and a sustainable evolution of the airspace infrastructure with the highest levels of safety are at the heart of our industrial strategy. The new Linate system goes exactly in this direction and, despite it being a difficult moment for air transport, ENAV is working to encourage the restart of the sector by increasing the capacity to accommodate traffic, reducing flight time delays and reducing the impact environmental".
"The final stage of landing, ground movement up to the parking lot and from this to the runway for departing aircraft, were, until the advent of this new technology, managed by the various Controllers present on the Tower through the compilation and the manual passage, from one CTA to another, of the so-called 'flight progress strips', in which all the information relating to each single flight and the authorizations issued were reported”, explains the company. Now, thanks to technology, the majority of these operations have been digitized and automated.
