JUN 10, 2004 (newstodate): Thales has now completed site acceptance tests for Beijing's ATC centre.
Beijing is the first of the three centres to be delivered under a 100 mio euro contract awarded to Thales by the Civil Aviation Administration of China in 2001.
The Beijing centre will control enroute traffic throughout the Beijing FIR as well as providing approach control for the Beijing Capital International Airport.
The next steps for this programme will include site acceptance of the complementary centres for Shanghai and Guangzhou.
All three centres are fully integrated to provide automatic data exchange between the centres, as well as with FIRs.
China has 1,150 air routes including international air routes to 60 cities in 33 countries and air traffic is growing at an annual rate of 10 per cent. The new systems will control up to 60 per cent of current air traffic in the Peoples Republic of China, enhancing safety and allowing China to accommodate increasing traffic densities.
