Rouen Airport is taking a major step in modernizing its infrastructure with the installation of a new goniometer, a state-of-the-art piece of equipment that will make the platform the first site in France to benefit from this technology .
Modernization of air navigation systems
Currently, the Air Navigation Service (SNA) is carrying out work on the airport's direction finder. This equipment plays a strategic role: it allows controllers and air navigation services to determine an aircraft's direction based on its radio communications . This capability is particularly valuable in emergency situations or when an aircraft loses its position, ensuring the safety and smooth flow of air operations.
The implementation of this next-generation system contributes to:
- Strengthening flight security in the Normandy region.
- Modernize air navigation tools to meet international standards.
- Position Rouen Airport as an innovative player in the field of aviation.
A direct impact on the passenger experience
While this work primarily concerns flight operations, it also contributes to improving the passenger experience . Modernizing the direction finding system ensures more reliable and faster procedures, reducing delays and contributing to flight punctuality. For travelers, this translates into a safer and more efficient airport, while also boosting the region's profile.
Promoting the Normandy region
Investing in this type of equipment also underscores the importance of Rouen Airport for the economic and tourism development of Normandy . By pioneering the adoption of new technologies, the airport enhances its appeal and reinforces the image of a dynamic and innovative region.
