The system maps each aircraft’s latitude, longitude, altitude, and time to provide 4D/15 visibility that meets ICAO’s Global Aeronautical Distress and Safety System (GADSS) mandate on tracking requirements. By incorporating real-time weather data from multiple sources, the solution allows flight dispatchers to anticipate potential issues proactively through integrated messaging services.

Datuk Captain Chester Voo, Deputy Group CEO (Airline Operations), AirAsia Aviation Group stated: “At AirAsia, we are constantly looking for innovative tools that will raise the standards for the safety and efficiency of our operations. SITA has brought all seven airlines across the AirAsia Group and AirAsia X to the cutting edge of flight tracking technology.”

Yann Cabaret, CEO of SITA for Aircraft added: “We are proud to be strengthening our partnership with AirAsia... In delivering the next generation of flight tracking technology to all AirAsia member airlines, we’re helping dispatchers work smarter and safer."
