AireonFLOW provides continual position updates to ensure that the demand prediction for traffic in their airspace sectors and at airports has a high level of accuracy.

Aireon CEO Don Thoma said: “The Hong Kong airspace is a perfect candidate for our AireonFLOW product.

“With one of the world’s busiest airports and significant overflight traffic from countries throughout the region, the ability to accurately and reliably predict traffic flows is of the utmost importance.

“CAD Hong Kong is a leader in air traffic management and has been a strong proponent of space-based ADS-B since 2020, and we’re looking forward to seeing how CAD Hong Kong will reap operational efficiencies and safety improvements using our data.”
