New Quito International Airport transforms air travel in Ecuador's capital

Intelcan proudly supported the successful opening of the new Quito International Airport, officially inaugurated on February 20th, 2013. The new airport now accommodates larger aircrafts, coupled with an increase in air traffic.   Intelcan Technosystems Inc., a Canadian CNS/ATM and Airport Infrastructure solution provider, participated in this project for the design, supply and Installation of Quito’s Air Traffic Control and navigational systems. Intelcan’s engineering team is currently onsite supporting our client in this milestone event.

The opening of the new Quito International Airport marks the culmination of more than six years of planning and construction.  In 2007 Intelcan commenced the installation of its state-of-the-art ATC, NAVAIDS and communication systems.  Intelcan implemented advanced instrumentation and participated in the design one of the world’s longest runways; 4100 meters.

The new airport is about ten times larger and has a control tower of forty-one meters, twice the height of its predecessor.  Zvi Glanz, Intelcan’s Executive Vice President says, “This was a challenging project involving complex communications, navigation and meteorological system solutions. Intelcan implemented the project to the utmost satisfaction of our client. We are extremely pleased to witness the opening of Quito International Airport”.
