Avinor CEO Abraham Foss (left), signed an air traffic management contract for Norwegian airports with Monika Haselbacher, COO of Frequentis.

Frequentis is set to increase automation for the air traffic management (ATM) systems at Oslo Airport (ENGM) and 14 regional airports around Norway, under a contract awarded on Tuesday by the country’s airports and air navigation agency Avinor. The Austrian company has been made prime contractor for the New Tower System Oslo (NeTSO) project, for which work has already began.

Avinor wants ATM towers across Norway to be equipped to more efficiently handle larger volumes of traffic. Frequentis will replace the existing advanced surface moving guidance and control system and electronic flight strips system with modern, integrated technology combining flight data and air and ground surveillance with a routing function, as well as departure management and safety tools.
