SITA Mission Watch maps each aircraft’s latitude, longitude, altitude, and time to provide 4D/15 visibility that meets and exceeds ICAO’s Global Aeronautical Distress and Safety System (GADSS) mandate on tracking requirements, a top priority for AirAsia. By incorporating real-time weather data aggregated from multiple sources, the solution also gives flight dispatchers the capability to anticipate potential issues before they happen and take steps to resolve them proactively, thanks to ease of communication with the cockpit through integrated messaging services.

Datuk Captain Chester Voo, Deputy Group CEO (Airline Operations), AirAsia Aviation Group, said: “At AirAsia, we are constantly looking for innovative tools that will raise the standards for the safety and efficiency of our operations. SITA has brought all seven airlines across the AirAsia Group and AirAsia X to the cutting edge of flight tracking technology, allowing us to go above and beyond industry safety standards, streamline our operations through a single platform, and boost the ease of collaboration between our flight dispatchers and pilots to resolve any potential issues before they happen.”

Yann Cabaret, CEO of SITA For Aircraft, said: “We are proud to be strengthening our partnership with AirAsia, having worked closely with them since 2020, supporting their sustainability goals with the help of SITA OptiFlight® for CO2 reductions and fuel savings. In delivering the next generation of flight tracking technology to all AirAsia member airlines, we’re helping dispatchers work smarter and safer, while staying one step ahead of changing conditions.” AIRASIA GROUP DEPLOYS SITA MISSION WATCH FOR FLIGHT TRACKING ACROSS SEVEN AIRLINES
