Abu Dhabi Airport Company (ADAC) contracts FREQUENTIS for the transition to FPL2012

ADAC has decided to meet the upcoming November 15 deadline for the transition to the new ICAO flight plan data formats (Amendment 1 to ICAO Doc 4444) by contracting Frequentis to install a bidirectional flight plan format converter. The companys smartFPLconverter will enhance the functionality of ADACs existing flight data processing system by supporting the conversion to and from the new formats.

This integration with the current system protects existing infrastructural investments and offers ADAC the flexibility needed to conform to the new standards on time and without a large expense. ADAC will be able to communicate with other ATM entities in both old and new formats and easily adapt formats to account for future interpretations of the new standard.
