EASA Certifies Aireon’s System
Aireon was officially approved by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) as an Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP) Organization to provide Air Traffic Management (ATM)/Air Navigation Service (ANS) surveillance services, to support the separation of aircraft. This authorises Aireon as the first-ever certified provider of aircraft surveillance-as-a-service.
This designation represents the culmination of a three-year long collaboration between Aireon and EASA, the agency that determines and promotes civil aviation safety standards for the member States of the European Union (EU) and other associated States. EASA’s rigorous and holistic certification process ensured the performance of the Aireon data for use in critical safety-of-life Air Traffic Services (ATS) surveillance.
With this certification, Aireon is able to provide its customers with an EASA accepted Service Definition Document and Safety Case in the frame of the initial certification.
As the EU’s preeminent civil aviation regulatory authority, the certification ensures that Aireon will not undergo additional certifications for business purposes in Europe, providing a significant opportunity to expand safety, environmental and business benefits of Aireon’s space-based ADS-B data.
