Rwanda's Kigali Introducing SITA Digital-ATIS

Rwanda's Kigali International Airport is installing D-ATIS (digital-automatic terminal information service) that will be in place by year's end.

The SITA-provided service, which eliminates the need for pilots to receive needed airport and traffic control information by voice, is in line with ICAO's Comprehensive Regional Implementation Plan for Aviation Safety in Africa agreed upon at the organization's last general assembly meeting in September 2007.

SITA delivers air/ground and ground/ground data communications services across Africa to support airline and air navigation service provider requirements, and has almost completed the migration to IP (Internet protocol) service availability across the continent.  03-17-2008.
