Description

The project aims to demonstrate the viability and cost effectiveness of providing Remote Tower Services to multiple airports. For the purpose of the project, a remote tower will be set up at Milano Malpensa airport, which will act as a Remote Tower Center providing remote airport services combined with air navigation (RNAV) procedures for the night-time operations to Milano Linate, as well as a virtual airport. The project, which will involve real-time simulations, shadow mode trials and live trials, will also aim at demonstrating the viability and the cost effectiveness of Remote Tower Services and RNAV procedures for different classes of aircraft and their associated cost benefits compared to ground equipment which requires ongoing maintenance.
