COMSOFT to install Aeronautical Message Handling System at Muscat Seeb International Airport
(c) Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation Premium: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation and Meteorology (DGCAM) awarded COMSOFT, a German ATC specialist, a contract to install its Aeronautical Message Handling System at Muscat Seeb International Airport.

The main part of the new system, AIDA-NG, was developed originally for the European Communications Gateway back in the Nineties. Since then, it has been installed at numerous air control centres all over the world. In Muscat, the system will be complemented with the end-user AFTN/AMHS terminal CADAS and a top-of-the-line AIS solution. Although most neighbouring countries still work with AFTN, aeronautical centres such as Abu Dhabi, another COMSOFT customer, have already embarked on AMHS.


The contracting parties have agreed on a very tight project schedule in order to meet the demands resulting from strongly increasing traffic figures in the region COMSOFT's representative in Oman, Zawawi Trading Company LLC, which belongs to the Sultanate's prestigious Omzest Group, will accompany the implementation of the system.


COMSOFT GmbH was established in 1979 and has been active in the ATC domain for 20 years, having gained a world-wide reputation in this market.
