Thales win airport contract
22.08.08
Thales has announced that it has signed a contract to supply and install a Cat III 420 Instrument Landing System (ILS) and 415 Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) at Liverpool Airport. The order means the company has now sold twenty five 420 ILS systems to the Ministry of Defence and Regional Airports in the UK.
Liverpool Airport is replacing its existing ILS/DME installation and chose Thales equipment to enable them to provide a CATIII landing capability. Chris Kelly, Head of Air Traffic Services for the Peel Airports Group said: 'Liverpool Airport is pleased to have selected Thales to supply and install a new CATIII ILS/DME system for runway 27. This upgrade continues our investment in the airport's airfield infrastructure and is a part of a programme of work to offer ILS CATIII landing operations.'
