Trinidad & Tobago Signs On for Aireon's ADS-B Air Traffic Surveillance Data
MCLEAN, Va., June 03, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Trinidad and Tobago Civil Aviation Authority (TTCAA) marked a major step forward in aviation safety, signing a contract to deploy Aireon's space-based automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) data for air traffic surveillance. The contract covers space-based ADS-B data services for the entire Piarco Flight Information Region (FIR), a 2.5 million square kilometer area in the Eastern Caribbean. The Piarco FIR is critical piece of airspace, offering seamless air traffic flow visibility for European (NAV Portugal), African (ASECNA and Cape Verde), Caribbean (Curacao), and Central American (French Guiana, COCESNA) air navigation service providers (ANSP) all using Aireon data. Trinidad and Tobago has seen a robust increase in air traffic in the post-COVID era. The Aireon data will support the ANSP's efforts to more effectively manage that increase to ensure safe operations. "The Piarco FIR is nearly surrounded by equally safety conscious ANSPs who are also using Aireon data. That means aircraft flying between Central America and Europe, and Central America and Africa, will all have the world's most reliable, and most accurate information. In the end, that means more efficiency and increased safety throughout the region," said Don Thoma, Aireon CEO. About Aireon LLC Aireon has deployed a space-based air traffic surveillance system for Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) equipped aircraft throughout the entire globe. Aireon is harnessing next-generation aviation surveillance technologies that were formerly ground-based and, for the first time ever, is extending their reach globally to significantly improve efficiency, enhance safety, reduce emissions, and provide cost savings benefits to all stakeholders. Space-based ADS-B surveillance covers oceanic, polar, and remote regions, and augments existing ground-based systems that are limited to terrestrial airspace. In partnership with leading ANSPs from around the world, like NAV CANADA, AirNav Ireland, ENAV, NATS and Naviair, as well as Iridium Communications, Aireon is providing a global, real-time, space-based air traffic surveillance system, available to all aviation stakeholders.

IATA Training to Deliver Vital Skills for Saudi Aviation - Middle East Business News and Information
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) announced several training agreements with Saudi airlines, airports, and academic institutions to address critical skills needed to support the Kingdom's growing aviation sector. These agreements were concluded at the IATA Aviation Day Middle East and North Africa (MENA), taking place in Jeddah on 6-7 May 2025. In the initial phase, over 1,000 aviation graduates and employees will receive comprehensive skills training, covering a wide range of areas, including airport development, safety, airline management and ground operations. Today aviation contributes USD 90.6 billion, or 8.5%, to Saudi Arabia's GDP and supports 1.4 million jobs—62,000 of which are directly employed by airlines and 79,000 by the country's airports and air navigation service provider (ANSP). This contribution is expected to ramp up significantly over the next few years, with travel and tourism serving as one of the key pillars of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030. To support this growth, the Kingdom has committed to a significant investment to airport infrastructure and fleet renewals. 'Saudi Arabia's aviation sector is undergoing unprecedented growth and transformation. The Kingdom is not only expanding its aviation infrastructure, but it is also investing in its people. This is vital to meet the immediate skills requirements while developing a professional workforce able to deliver on Vision 2030. IATA is working with the country's training community as it establishes Saudi Arabia as a hub of aviation excellence,' said Kamil Al-Awadhi, IATA's Regional Vice President for Africa and Middle East. The training agreements concluded for 2025 are: Riyadh Airports Company and Qassim University will become Regional Training Partners while Prince Sultan Aviation Academy (PSAA)—a long-standing Regional Training Partner—will add additional courses. Across the three entities, they will offer more than 60 training courses covering airport development and operations, safety, commercial and people skills and ground operations. IATA will provide industry awareness courses to graduates across Riyadh Air and Saudia Airlines, aimed at attracting and nurturing national talent for future leadership roles within the airlines. IATA will provide Dangerous Goods Courses to the management and operational personnel of the Saudi Academy of Civil Aviation (SACA). SAL Saudi Logistics Services has been certified as a CBTA Center while Saudi Ground Services (SGS) renewed both its CBTA Center and Training Validation Program (TVP) certification for its ground operations training program.
