ATNS wins aircraft landing aid system maintenance contract for six South African airports
South Africa’s national State-owned air traffic management agency, Air Traffic and Navigation Services (ATNS), has been awarded a new five-year contract by another State-owned company, the Airports Company South Africa, to maintain the Instrument Landing Systems (ILS) at six of the latter’s national airports. The awarding of the contract followed a rigorous tender process.
ILS is an aid to pilots that allows them to approach and land on runways in bad weather and poor, even zero, visibility. It does so by radio beams that provide pilots with precise vertical and horizontal guidance, as they bring their aircraft in to land.
“Safety is a priority and a lived corporate value at ATNS, which is extended to how we deliver our services and products to customers,” stressed company CEO Nozipho Mdawe. “This has earned us recognition as a preferred supplier of air traffic management solutions throughout the African continent. It is the 30-year service excellence record of diligently upholding safety standards and regulations as prescribed by the South African Civil Aviation Authority and the International Civil Aviation Organisation that continues to give us a competitive edge in the aviation market.”
ATNS has great experience in maintaining ILS equipment. It has done so for more than 30 years. This experience has allowed it to provide not only ILS services, but also air communications, navigation and surveillance services and products, outside of South Africa.
