Aviation Embraces The EGNOS Advantage

According to a panel discussion on aviation at the European Space Solutions Conference in Prague, EGNOS provides very clear benefits to the aviation sector – benefits that need to be further expanded.

The aviation sector is a key market for EGNOS. Although there remain numerous challenges ahead, it serves as a showcase of sorts for the many benefits that E-GNSS technology can bring to transportation.

“EGNOS was designed for aviation and with nearly a quarter of all airports in our target market being EGNOS-enabled, we’re seeing great results,” said Gian Gherardo Calini, Head of Market Development at the GSA, speaking at the Aviation session of the European Space Solutions Conference in Prague. “But how do we accelerate our penetration in the airports not supporting EGNOS?”

“Our effort should not happen in isolation,” he added. “If we want to get the political attention needed, we have to show the benefits of EGNOS across the value chain.”
