The next generation of Air Traffic Services

LFV’s prize-winning concept for remote tower services means that airports can significantly decrease their costs for Air Traffic Services.

System uses 14 HD cameras to provide a 360 degree view of the airport.

This facility is run by Swedens ANSP, LFV. Currently one airport (Örnsköldsvik, ESNO) is controlled from the center which is located in Sundsvall, Sweden.

By deploying Remote Tower Services, RTS, one or nu­merous Air Traffic Control towers can be operated from another location irrespective of distance. The result is an airport which can offer more flexible air traffic services “on demand” and versatile opening hours to meet cus­tomer requirements.

LFV has achieved extensive experience in cooperation with the industry as well as close interaction with National Supervisory Authority. The effect of this is that the RTS development pprocess has gone from idea to reality in record time. In 2013, LFV started final testing and will go live in 2014 with RTS. In tandem, LFV continues to work with various partners in the European SESAR programme to further enhance and refine the concept.
