A new hi-tech simulation system has been installed at Bahrain International Airport for the region’s most modern air traffic control tower. This was announced by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications.

The new system provides an integrated simulation platform for air traffic controllers at the air traffic control tower, using the latest digital technology. It allows the simulation of air traffic control tower operations in various weather conditions with a panoramic view of the surroundings of the airport covering 360 degrees.

The new system is supported by virtual systems to represent radio communications, ground traffic radar, meteorological information and other advanced equipment used to manage air traffic on the airport grounds.

This is part of efforts made by Civil Aviation to enhance air navigation services at the highest levels of safety and quality and hone the skills of national cadres in accordance with the standards and requirements of the International Civil Aviation Organization.

Transportation and Telecommunications Minister Mohammed bin Thamer Al Kaabi said that air controllers have started training on the new simulation system. He stressed the importance of the new system in providing an environment similar to the reality of the operations of the actual air traffic
