At Airspace World in Lisbon, AirNav Indonesia and DFS Aviation Services GmbH (DAS) signed an agreement to innovate and further reinforce air navigation service provision. This
collaboration was initiated following an exchange at the Singapore Airshow and a joint workshop at DFS Group headquarters in Langen, which focused on the strategic development
of services. The agreement was signed by President Director Avirianto Suratno and Andreas Poetzsch, Managing Director of DFS Aviation Services. The partnership was initiated and developed by Arika Mike Wijayanti, Vice President of Services Strategy of AirNav Indonesia, and Dr Hans de Jong, Regional Manager Asia Pacific at DAS.
Despite differing geographical conditions and stages of air traffic development, the companies discovered a remarkable match in their mutual areas of expertise and objectives, inspiring
each other with the modernisations already pursuing.
Under this agreement, the organizations will collaborate on various initiatives, including the development of remote digital towers, utilizing digital twin technology to anticipate traffic
patterns and improve decision-making, advancing predictive safety management, and supporting the professional development of controllers and leadership. Additionally, they will
pursue measures to enhance the resilience and robustness of their service offerings.
“This partnership is a great example of how international cooperation can drive meaningful innovation,” said Andreas Poetzsch, Managing Director at DAS. “By combining our expertise
and sharing our forward-looking approaches, we can jointly develop solutions that make air navigation services more resilient and more efficient.”
