  • Aircraft Tracking: What Is Currently Available?
    Aircraft Tracking: What is currently available? Andrew Burton, 31 Dec 2014 With the third major commercial airline crash of 2014 where the aircraft could not be located for 48 hours or more, there is a growing discussion around the issue of real-time flight following of aircraft. There is a lot of conjecture from armchair experts about what could be done, and what is currently available, and why it isn’t being widely used. Apex Flight Operations and its predecessors have been involved in aircraft tracking since 2003, and we are uniquely positioned as both a hardware manufacturer and a flight tracking data accumulator to shed some light on what is currently available in the market. Firstly, there are three major types of aircraft tracking: traditional radar-based, ADS-B/ACARS and dedicated flight following – the majority of recent discussion around aircraft tracking has omitted this last type. There are also several new systems or planned improvements to existing systems that may bring increased oversight in the future. Traditional Radar-Based Tracking This has been the predominant means of tracking aircraft in real time globally until the advent of ADS-B, and remains the only means of flight following in areas with no or limited ADS-B coverage. It has major shortfalls in that tracking is only available when the aircraft is in range of the radar – the rest of the time the aircraft is estimated to be at a certain location based on expected speed on a planned flight path. It is now generally accepted that a better alternative needs to be urgently found.

I am the Head of Investor Relations at RELX Group. I have three things to do today. First is to welcome everybody. So, welcome, everybody. Second is just a little bit of housekeeping. If the fire alarm does go off during this presentation, you'll be leaving the way you came in. There will be people with fluorescent jackets to help you find the exit. Hopefully, that won't happen.

As the ninth airline from the Middle East, this will further enhance our flagship airport’s position as the 12th busiest airport for international passengers, a recognition given to us by Airports Council International last year. Air Arabia’s direct service will not only improve KLIA’s connectivity but will also help to promote Malaysia as the preferred hub in this region.
