Georgia's air navigation service provider Sakaeronavigatsia the has joined the New Pan-European Network Service, a communications network created by European providers of air navigation services.
NewPENS (new pan-European network service) is a telecommunications network established by several European air navigation service providers with the support of EUROCONTROL.
It includes voice and data communication and provides a secure, efficient connection for members joining this network. Almost all European countries are united in NewPENS.
Supported by Eurocontrol, a pan-European, civil and military organisation supporting European aviation, NewPENS now connects bodies in 47 countries and over 100 locations, with work for the Georgian provider to integrate having started in 2021.
“Joining the mentioned network allows Georgia to exchange information directly with European countries. Also, it is already possible to distribute international aviation meteorological reports in the World Aviation Meteorological Bank in digital IWXXM format”, said Gocha Mezvrishvili, the General Director of Sakaeronavigatsia.
Sakaeronavigatsia, Eurocontrol and BT Global Service, a company that provides global security, cloud and networking services to multinational companies worldwide, signed a deal in January 2022 as part of the Georgian body’s efforts for integrating into the network.
NewPENS provides infrastructure for exchanging “critical and common aeronautical information”, as described by Eurocontrol.
