Aireon, Irish Authorities Ready Emergency Tracking Service
Partners announce they have begun accepting registration for free service

Aireon and the Irish Aviation Authority have begun accepting “pre-registration” for their newly developed Locating and Emergency Response Tracking (Alert) service, an ADS-B-based tracking system that provides exact position reports on aircraft in distress or experiencing loss of communication. Available free of charge to air navigation service providers (ANSPs), aircraft operators, regulators, and search-and-rescue organizations, the system will start operating in the first quarter of 2019 from the IAA North Atlantic Communications Center in Ballygireen, Ireland, according to Aireon.
