Aireon and EUROCONTROL announced today they have signed a 10-year agreement for the provision of space-based automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) data. This will enhance flow management capabilities across EUROCONTROL’s 41 European Member States and two Comprehensive Agreement (CA) States contributing to improve predictability, capacity, environmental impact supporting sustainable growth throughout the European region.

It will also support other applications, such as crisis management, contingency management, environmental monitoring, performance monitoring, expanded datasets for post analysis, traffic statistics and safety-related assessments.

“With Aireon’s high-integrity, high-quality data, the EUROCONTROL Network Manager will have the ability to work with information from beyond the European airspace,” said Eamonn Brennan, Director General, EUROCONTROL.
