LONDON, Nov. 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Swedish
Airport Operator Swedavia has selected Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT)
to deliver a new generation of multi-airport operational systems
that will transform the way critical information is shared with
stakeholders across their network.
Swedavia is responsible for 10 state-owned airports in
Sweden. A world leader in
developing airports with the least environmental impact, Swedavia's
role is to create the access Sweden needs to facilitate travel, business
and meetings nationally and internationally.
With passenger figures and flight movements forecast to grow by
50 percent in 2035, Swedavia identified Lockheed Martin's Chroma
Airport Suite as the technology platform that will enable strategic
initiatives to manage this growth and deliver operational
excellence for years to come.
In a multi-million dollar deal initially spanning five years,
Lockheed Martin will install their Chroma Suite which includes a
centralised Multi-airport Operational Database, Resource Management
System and Flight Information Displays.
"This project will improve data quality, operational
predictability and allow us to optimize resources and capacity
across our entire network," said Lena Rokaas, Head of Operations at
Stockholm Arlanda Airport. "In other words, the systems will
provide important support for us in the work to achieve our
ambitious targets for operative excellence."
Chroma is a consolidated suite of modules that have been
specifically engineered for the multi-airport environment and has
been successfully proven within airport networks globally.
"We have been at the forefront of aviation technology for over
100 years," said Mark Cooper,
managing director of Transportation and Energy at Lockheed Martin.
"Having worked already with Norway's Airport Operator Avinor and the
Finnish operator Finavia, our partnership with Swedavia is another
innovative example of our work to improve information sharing and
collaboration in multi-airport environments."
