UNO Technology, a renowned engineering solutions company specializing in high-vision air traffic control cabins and towers, has secured a prestigious mandate to upgrade the operational capabilities of Madurai International Airport’s air traffic control (ATC) cabins. This significant project, part of the airport’s comprehensive development plan, aims to enhance operational efficiency and safety in the region.
Madurai International Airport’s development is spearheaded by the Airport Authority of India (AAI) in collaboration with SOM Projects, with UNO Technology onboard as a specialist sub-contractor. As part of the project, UNO Technology will redesign the ATC cabin as a High Vision Cabin, providing high-performance glazing panels for the Visual Control Room (VCR) tailored to the region’s unique weather conditions and AAI’s stringent requirements.
A standout feature of the project is the implementation of an innovative framing system developed by UNO Technology, providing air traffic controllers with obstruction-free vision. This cutting-edge design enhances the controllers’ field of view to over 200 degrees, addressing critical issues such as limited visibility and elevated levels of fatigue among controllers.
UNO Technology’s cabin design adheres strictly to the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) standards, with a strong focus on reducing controller fatigue. The ergonomic and operational aspects of the cabin will be meticulously planned to ensure a comfortable and efficient working environment for the controllers.
Mr. Unni Bhaskar, Managing Director of UNO Technology Pvt. Ltd., expressed pride in contributing to the development of Madurai International Airport. With over 25 years of experience in the aviation infrastructure sector, UNO Technology brings patented technology and expertise to elevate air traffic control capabilities in India. This partnership not only signifies a significant leap forward for Madurai International Airport but also sets a new benchmark for the future of air traffic control infrastructure, addressing issues such as limited visibility, obsolete equipment, and heightened controller fatigue that impact operational efficiency and safety standards.
This project marks a major advancement in enhancing air traffic control facilities in India. UNO Technology’s innovative solutions are poised to transform air traffic management at Madurai International Airport, ensuring enhanced safety, efficiency, and operational excellence.
