ENAIRE improves approach operations to the Gran Canaria Airport

ENAIRE, Spain’s national air navigation service provider, has improved approach operations at the Gran Canaria Airport.

Since 5 September, it has been successfully using the HERMES project, which involves modernising and improving air navigation procedures by employing the latest technologies.

The approach service at the airport, which ENAIRE provides from its Canaries Control Centre, manages the arrival and departure trajectories from the time an aircraft flies beyond the visual range of the control tower until it reaches an approximate altitude of four kilometres.
