New Zealand: Airways spending NZ$58m on new system to handle booming air traffic
Control of growing air traffic over New Zealand will be revamped with a NZ$58m project that Airways says will be more efficient and robust but could lead to job losses. Airways has announced it will replace its current ATM platforms over the next 4 years. Leidos will provide the new system and Airways will build 2 new control systems in Auckland and Christchurch. The Leidos Skyline X system will replace Airways' 2 existing ATM platforms which are nearing the end of their useful lives. The system is expected to become operational in New Zealand's domestic airspace in 2020 and in oceanic airspace in 2021. Airways said the new system will allow Airways to implement a new operating model as well as take advantage of advances in tools to optimise the air traffic system and staff deployment. <br/>
