The AAOS approval was achieved following a year-long effort of working alongside the UK’s Military Aviation Authority (MAA), and is the very first AAOS ever issued for a delivery organisation for military Digital Tower ATM equipment - a significant achievement for Saab.

The approval further strengthens Saab’s UK credentials, building on the Civil Aviation Authority’s approval gained in 2018.

“This is an important step for us to support the UK MOD with the expansion of digital towers and we are proud to have the only accredited solution that complies with their regulations,” said Per Ahl, CEO of Saab Digital Air Traffic Solutions.

Other Saab Digital Air Traffic Solution approvals include certification to provide Air Traffic Services and MET-observation services according to EU-regulation (EU) 2017/373, providing digital ATC as a service at four Swedish airports.

Saab Digital Air Traffic Solutions also holds ISO certification 9001, 14001 and 27001.
