In a strategic move to establish itself as a leader in air navigation within the region, Morocco’s National Airports Office (ONDA) has implemented the advanced ManagAir air traffic management system developed by Indra.
With the Indra ManagAir system, ONDA aims to enhance the efficiency and capacity of Moroccan air traffic while reducing CO₂ emissions, a priority for the kingdom.
The new system will also facilitate coordination between Morocco and other member states of the AEFMP (Algeria, Spain, France, and Portugal), ensuring the smooth provision of air navigation services in the region, according to Actualidad Aeroespacial.
“Our organization will utilize the most advanced air traffic control system worldwide. With ManagAir, we are also ready to meet the objectives of the European Single Sky set by the European Commission in terms of technical competence of air navigation service providers. We have taken the first step towards unlocking the potential of the new system and enhancing user experience,” explained Hicham Abdelaziz Moumni, Director of ONDA.
Federico Rueda, Director of Indra’s ATM (Air Traffic Management) business, highlighted the features of the ManagAir system now deployed by ONDA. “It is the world’s first en-route and approach air traffic control service solution that will bring significant improvements to air traffic management, including an enhanced user interface, easy and secure access, and higher levels of automation,” he detailed.
The move to the new system will be carried out in two stages, with the collaboration of Eurocontrol, the European Organization for the Safety of Air Navigation, and under the supervision of Morocco’s Civil Aviation Authority, ensuring compliance with applicable standards and regulations.
The system is recommended by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) for air traffic management and has already been adopted by several countries, including India, Vietnam, and China.
