COCESNA Signs Contract with Aireon for Space-based ADS-B Data

Corporación Centroamericana de Servicios de Navegación Aérea (COCESNA), a Central American air navigation service provider (ANSP), has recently signed a contract for three years with Aireon for its top space-based Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) data, validating the region's exceptional operational and safety advantages.

For COCESNA, which has been evaluating Aireon's data for the last 18 months, the Aireon data will allow the regional ANSP to gain complete situational awareness of its air traffic over the Pacific Oceanic airspace in real time. In addition, it aims to utilize the data to offer more efficient routes to airspace operators, including reduced separation minima.

COCESNA's region incorporates over 2.6 million square kilometers of terrestrial airspace and broad oceanic areas in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean, spanning the Central American flight information region (FIR). It also provides air traffic surveillance services to Belize, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Honduras, Guatemala, and Nicaragua. COCESNA is the major air traffic control provider at the crossroads of the Caribbean, South, North, and Central America due to its central location in the Americas.

Vice President of Customer Affairs at Aireon, Peter Cabooter, said,"As the aviation community emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic, we at Aireon are seeing more and more ANSPs look to data solutions to safely and efficiently manage the next phase of air traffic growth." He added, "We are looking forward to continuing the great relationship with COCESNA to support their operational and safety goals."
