23 Norwegian airports to be remotely operated with Indra’s cutting-edge air traffic control system in Avinor’s Remote Tower Centre

26/01/2025

Indra plays a pivotal role in the extension of Avinor’s Remote Tower Centre (RTC) in Bodø, Norway, owned and operated by Avinor, the Norwegian air navigation service provider. Currently, the centre manages 11 regional airports, a number set to grow to 15 by March 2025 with the completion of the first phase of Avinor’s remote tower program. After this, an additional seven new airports will be added. The contract also includes an installation at the new Bodø airport that is under construction.

Avinor’s RTC has 16 working positions, so the project extension undertakes the implementation of multiple remote tower operations, which it means that each operator will be able to control up to three airports from the same working position. They use Indra’s InNOVA air traffic control system which provides a unique single and fully integrated display with all required air traffic and airport control functions, including air traffic situation display, electronic flight strips and meteorological information. A supervisor will oversee the planning and allocate airports to the different working positions, ensuring seamless and efficient operations.
