Frequentis AG: UAE advances AIM technology with latest FREQUENTIS upgrade

Vienna / Austria (pta013/09.01.2025/10:02) -
* The UAE's General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) is undergoing a major upgrade to its aeronautical information management (AIM) system to meet future global requirements and maintain its high service standards.
* Frequentis continues its collaboration with GCAA to drive innovation in AIM technology.

The General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has reinforced its leadership in aviation innovation by upgrading its integrated AIM system with advanced features. This upgrade, following a competitive request for proposal, incorporates state-of-the-art capabilities that meet evolving global aviation standards and align with the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) roadmap.

The GCAA recorded a significant increase in flight movements in 2024 compared to the previous years, reflecting its important role in global air traffic management (ATM). "Centralised data management is key to modern aviation safety, sustainability and efficiency. With this upgrade, we are not only meeting global standards but also preparing for the future of AIM by implementing the global AIM roadmap requirements ahead of time. This system will help us manage the growing demand for digital aeronautical information. It supports the expanding aviation infrastructure in the UAE and strengthens the country's position as a global aviation hub," says Ahmed Al Jallaf, Assistant Director General – Air Navigation Services at GCAA.

The upgraded system introduces advanced features to enhance efficiency and interoperability, while preparing for future aviation challenges. It supports the creation of ICAO-compliant data products for precise global distribution, while digital notices to airmen (NOTAM) will provide real-time updates for pilots or airport operators to improve operational efficiency. The upgraded system-wide information management (SWIM) portal ensures seamless data sharing among aviation stakeholders, and integrated workflow management streamlines processes through automation.

"The GCAA is committed to delivering world-class air navigation services while maintaining the highest standards of aviation safety and efficiency. We are proud to continue our collaboration on this next phase of innovation, supporting their progress in advancing AIM technology and airspace management," says Constantin von Reden, Managing Director of Frequentis Comsoft.
