Every new aircraft model generating increasing amounts of data – will need to access an effective, global aircraft communications ecosystem in order to communicate and transfer aircraft data effectively at every phase of flight. SITA FOR AIRCRAFT shares its multilink, new generation datalink vision for the industry.

This article proposes a concept that would allow ANSPs and airlines to realize the benefits of IPS connectivity, over VDLm2 connections, without the need for new avionics hardware and with only minimal changes to the existing VDL network.

Digitalization and modernization of air traffic control systems are needed, and a growing number of safety mandates and demand for next-generation air traffic management practices are adding to the challenge.

SITA is developing a low cost and scalable way to expand today's datalink infrastructure. It supports ANSPs by providing the next generation of ATC services.

Cebu Pacific Air improved operational efficiency & reduced data transfer costs with SITA FOR AIRCRAFT's ACARS over IP service from the Unified Aircraft Communications portfolio.
