Portugal has invested EUR 100 million in a state-of-the-art air traffic control system for their Lisbon airport.
Portugal’s public business entity NAV has started using their new air traffic control system on Tuesday. The investments include the new air traffic control system, TopSky, at EUR 83 million as well as an air traffic control centre.
The TopSky system, that is a computerized air traffic control and management solution developed by Thales Air Systems, uses cutting-edge technology and will detect potential conflicts between aircraft at a distance of 20 minutes.
Portugal’s new air traffic control system will be adapted to the extension of the airport capacity in Lisbon, that includes the new airport that is to be built.
