Airline communications provider Sita is supporting the launch of datalink ATC service in Indonesian airspace. The Geneva-based company has an agreement with Indonesia’s air navigation service provider (ANSP) to provide an air-to-ground datalink infrastructure that will enable pilots and controllers to communicate in the Jakarta flight information region (FIR). The system is currently undergoing operational evaluation.
