The Chief Executive Officer Pasqualino Monti said: We are very proud of this contract. Fiji Airports represents a new customer for the ENAV Group in an area of the world with strong potential. It is not a given in such a specific market to be able to expand the customer portfolio. The organic growth of activities in the not regulated market is a strategic point in our development plan. The number of flights is growing very fast globally, and we have to continue at intercepting the demand for excellent technologies and services.

In detail, CRONOS is the platform for the dissemination of aeronautical information, such as NOTAM (NOtice To Air Men) to inform flight crews about conditions along the route, the efficiency of radio navigation and any changes in the availability of airspace or runways in use, weather data (OPMET) and pre-flight information bulletins (PIB).  

CRONOS, a high-performance, high-availability digital archive, thanks to its integration with the AMHS messaging system, governs and facilitates the exchange of aeronautical information, making it easy to read and disseminate among all aviation stakeholders such as airports, airlines, air forces and weather services.
