Airbus Subsidiary Quovadis To Participate In Development
Program
Airbus has announced that Quovadis, its Flight Operations
Services company, will participate in the development of a full
Performance-Based Navigation (PBN) network at a total of 11
Philippine airports, in cooperation with the French Civil Aviation
Authority (DGAC) and the Civil Aviation Authority of the
Philippines (CAAP).
When complete, this project will enable
the entire region to benefit from the advantages of increased
air-traffic-management (ATM) capacity and reduced emissions through
shorter tracks, and will help transform the Philippine airspace
into one of the most advanced PBN-optimised ATM regions in the
world. The program includes procedure design and obstacles data
survey training, and training for air traffic controllers and
flight safety inspectors.
“This unique alliance of authorities, Air Navigation Services
Providers and operators, which includes Philippine Airlines, Cebu
Pacific Air, Air Phil Express and Zest Airways, is a true
breakthrough in the industry,” says Paul-Franck Bijou, CEO of
Quovadis. “This project brings together all stakeholders to
create fuel efficient, flexible and safe trajectories.”
“As safety is our first priority, the PBN concept matches
perfectly with the needs of the country," said Director General
Ramon Gutierrez of CAAP. "CAAP is fully committed to intensively
developing PBN as per ICAO recommendations. We are pleased to
cooperate with the Airbus subsidiary Quovadis in this project as
they have the right expertise and experience in supporting its
implementation.”
"Quo vadis?" is, appropriately, a Latin phrase which translates
roughly to, "Where are you going?"
