Bahrain Airspace Modernised by Thales with Aeronautical Messaging Handling System
This initiative demonstrates the rekindled trust that Thales and the CAA have established, a relationship based on a shared commitment to provide innovative aviation solutions.
Bahrain’s Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications’ Civil Aviation Affairs (CAA) has recently significantly advanced its airspace management. This development aims to enhance operational efficiency and safety standards through a strategic upgrade. The Ministry has implemented the latest version of the Thales TopSky Aeronautical Message Handling System (AMHS), marking a pivotal moment in Bahrain’s aviation communication infrastructure. This system integration, completed in just 18 months, represents a leap forward for the Middle East region.
Benefits of the Upgrade
The upgrade offers CAA a robust and future-ready AMHS solution, ensuring compliance with international aviation regulations set by the ICAO. Thales, the system’s developer, focused on enhancing CAA’s capability with the latest AMHS version equipped with System Wide Information Management (SWIM) capabilities.
Enhanced Messaging and Collaboration
With this enhancement, CAA now benefits from improved messaging services that facilitate the seamless exchange of critical information. This includes aeronautical procedures, flight plans, meteorological messages, and more. The integration involved multiple stakeholders, including CAA’s Air Navigation Systems (ANSD) and Air Traffic Control (ATC).
The successful implementation of the Thales TopSky AMHS underscores Bahrain’s commitment to modernizing its aviation infrastructure. This upgrade enhances operational efficiency and ensures a higher level of safety and compliance with global aviation standards.
“The successful implementation of the Thales TopSky-AMHS system reflects our commitment to empowering our partners, such as CAA, with cutting-edge aviation technology to foster safer and more efficient airspace in the region. This project is an important step in achieving Bahrain’s Economic Vision 2030 and solidifies Bahrain's position as a regional aviation leader.” Christian Rivierre, VP Airspace Mobility Solutions – Thales.
