II.2.4) Description of the procurement
Highlands and Islands Airports Limited (HIAL) operates and manages eleven airports throughout the north of Scotland and plays a vital role in the Scotland’s air transport network. A mixture of Air Traffic Control (ATC) and Aerodrome Flight Information Service (AFIS) provision ensures delivery of the required level of Air Traffic Service (ATS) to support lifeline and commercial air operations.
As part of its continuing effort to enhance the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of its ATS, HIAL intents to install Flight Information Display (FID) systems at six of its airports operating in uncontrolled airspace (Class G) without conventional ground-based surveillance systems. When operational, the new FID systems will provide Air Traffic Control Officers (ATCOs) and Aerodrome Flight Information Service Officers (AFISOs) with enhanced situational awareness via the display of an integrated, cooperative real time air picture.
This project, which represents a significant investment by HIAL, supports the UK Airspace Modernisation Strategy (AMS) and will provide enhanced safety and efficiency benefits whilst achieving best value for investment.
The Project aims to deliver FIDS to Kirkwall, Dundee and Stornoway Airports in financial year 2023/2024, and to Benbecula, Islay and Wick John O'Groats Airports in 2024/2025.
