ICELAND'S ISAVIA ANS OPERATIONAL AIRSPACE WIDE WITH AIREON DATA

"The addition of Aireon's space-based ADS-B in Isavia ANS's North Sector increases the safety of our service and presents the opportunity for efficiency gains in the future. This implementation adds to Isavia ANS's current combination of space-based and ground-based ADS-B stations, thus improving Isavia ANS's existing transatlantic surveillance corridor connecting Europe and North America. Once again, Aireon's implementation team were exemplary and we are proud to be working with Aireon," said Kjartan Briem, Isavia ANS CEO.
