Indra strengthens its position as a global player in the Air Traffic Control market with the acquisition of Micro Nav and Global ATS from the Quadrant Group

Indra expands its leadership of the global Air Traffic Management (“ATM”) after its Board of Directors approved the acquisition of 100% of the share capital of the companies Micro Nav and Global ATS, from UK-based Quadrant Group. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals.

The deal expands Indra’s position in ATM by entering the training business segment and reinforcing its position in the United Kingdom, where it has been working for decades as a technology partner of the air navigation service provider, NATS. It also strengthens its leadership in ATM systems in the Middle East, as Micro Nav earns more than 50% of its sales in this region.

Micro Nav is a company specialised in simulation systems with the leading civilian and military air traffic controller training solution in the market. Its BEST (Beginning to End Simulation Training) system stands out for the ability to adapt to the needs of each client, offering combined tower and radar training, and the great realism of the 3D scenarios and immersive experience it offers.

Global ATS is the UK’s leading controller training services company, providing services to many of the UK’s General Aviation, Regional and International airports. It also has a growing international presence in the Middle East, Asia and the CIS regions.
