AirNav Indonesia modernizes air traffic navigation systems

To mark World Air Traffic Controller Day, AirNav Indonesia has announced a commitment to strengthening national flight navigation services through system modernization, facility upgrades, and personnel competency development.

Central to this initiative is the deployment of the latest generation Air Traffic Management Automation System (ATMAS). This system has been implemented in stages across Jakarta, Medan, Pontianak, and Balikpapan, reaching full operation at the New Jakarta Air Traffic Services Center (JATSC) on June 16, 2026. The technology assists controllers with arrival and departure sequencing, air traffic flow management, aeronautical information, and voice communications.

Additionally, AirNav is implementing Free Route Operation (FRTO). This feature allows airlines greater flexibility to plan efficient cruise routes based on actual weather conditions, aiming to reduce fuel costs and emissions while improving airspace efficiency.
