15/11/2026

Spain’s Council of Ministers authorised the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility to tender a €27.9 million contract (excluding VAT) to implement a new version of the Automated Air Traffic Control System (SACTA). 

The contract will enable further operational improvements to the air traffic management system. The aim is to improve data use and operational efficiency, further enhance safety through new features, ensure that the system evolves in compliance with the various European regulations, and incorporate the latest technologies available on the market, among other measures. 

This investment, to be made through ENAIRE, will allow Spain’s national air navigation service provider to implement, over a 36-month period, the second integration phase of its automated air navigation system, in the version known as SACTA-iTEC 5.01.
