Delivering Airside Engineering Support Solutions

MISSION CRITICAL SERVICES

Airports can be busy places and airport operators can face many challenges. Not least of these challenges is the need to upgrade or maintain the technologies that ensure airfields remain operational, and that customers are guaranteed a safe and enjoyable experience when flying. Aquila has a proven track record in delivering support solutions for Communication, Navigation & Surveillance (CNS) systems at airfields across the UK and overseas. With an established nationwide and regionally based network of fully qualified engineers, we provide a rapid response to any technical issues. Our capability covers all aspects of life-cycle support for Air Traffic Management (ATM) related systems, ensuring our customers benefit from flexible support options that de-risk their airport operation.

DELIVERING AIRSIDE ENGINEERING SUPPORT SOLUTIONS

Aquila understands the challenges that come with operating in the UK airport market:

  • The need for airports to tightly manage operating and capital costs.
  • The requirement to upgrade air traffic control related technology, partly in response to the EU’s SESAR programme which aims to transform ATM performance.
  • The difficulty in continuing to support ageing and unreliable equipment.
  • We embrace our environment of honest reporting and support colleagues who report mistakes.
  • The disruption that can arise from system failures which can be costly to rectify, difficult to budget for, and which can be reputationally damaging.

With more UK airfield experience than any other supplier, we help airports:

 

  • Retain key technical and operational personnel.
  • Build a knowledge base of specialised ATM systems.
  • Deliver training and development.
  • Reduce the risk that comes with managing a network of smaller contractors and/or specialised in-house teams.
