The collaboration also solidifies the commitment of both companies to expand the successful implementation of ADB Safegate’s OneControl Electronic Flight Strip System, which is already deployed at Geneva Tower, to other airports in Switzerland. The system replaces traditional paper flight strips with digital interfaces to improve controller efficiency and reduce the risk of human error.
The implementation of advanced tower solutions in Swiss airports will enhance their ability to manage growing air traffic volumes more efficiently and enable more effective responses to unexpected challenges such as severe weather or emergency situations.
“Skyguide and ADB Safegate continue their joint journey to partner in the development of innovative tower approach solutions by bringing together the strengths from each company,” said Klaus Meier, CIO of Skyguide.
He was joined at the signing by Dr. Thorben Burghardt, CTO of ADB Safegate, who reaffirmed that the partnership reflects a shared commitment to innovation and operational excellence. “It sets a strong foundation for collaboration and progress in air navigation.”
