Comsoft Solutions’ MHS Business unit manager Uwe Kurpat said: “The SITA gateway enables reliable and secure data exchange across the air transport industry to ease the migration to AMHS.

“By combining our expertise in AMHS with SITA, who have over 40 years’ experience operating a Type B- Aeronautical Fixed Telecommunication Network (AFTN) data sharing gateway, we are able to provide an appropriate solution for the adoption of AMHS and facilitate the use of XML.”

XML-based data transmission is said to play a major role in the growing needs of air traffic management by enabling the exchange of critical messages.

SITA Messaging vice-president Dominique El Bez said: “As the industry leader, it is our role to leverage our air transport messaging expertise to provide fit-for-purpose solutions that respond to modern business needs.
