On November 5th 2022 at 07:30 pm UTC, the new state of the art Indra Air Automation System went live at Bahrain Civil Aviation Authority (BCAA) facilities smooth and without any interruptions. The team conducted a transition pre-planning phase with operational trials and operator training to address the rapid and safe transition to the new system before going live with this most advanced air traffic management solution on the market. The new control center will enhance the safety and fluidity of aircraft movements throughout the Arabian Peninsula and on key global aviation routes.

This condition in combination with the great willingness of walking the extra mile whatever it takes are real collaboration whilst a pragmatic and supportive attitude nourish that spirit: first in – last out. Practical and real-life examples will underline the importance of this project approach in combination with lessons learnt for our European environment.
