US Airways to use Sensis system at three hubs

DeWITT — US Airways will deploy Saab Sensis Corp. technology at three of its hubs around the country.

The airline plans to begin using Sensis’ Aerobahn airport surface management system at Charlotte-Douglas, Philadelphia, and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airports. The systems combines information such as flight schedules and planned departure and arrival gates with aircraft and vehicle surveillance.

It gives users a real-time view of surface operations, according to Sensis, and helps improve efficiency and reliability.

“Saab Sensis Aerobahn will help us provide better service for our customers by giving us real-time insight into our ground operations,” US Airways’ Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Robert Isom said in a news release. “The bird’s-eye view of the airport surface helps our team reduce tarmac delays, ensure more on-time arrivals and departures and more effectively manage operations during inclement weather, which results in a better experience for our customers.”

Sensis is a subsidiary of the Swedish defense and security company Saab. Sensis, based in DeWitt, provides sensor technologies, radar systems, modeling, and simulation for defense, civil aviation, airport, and airline customers.

The company employs about 600 people at eight locations and serves more than 60 customers in 35 countries. It has about 500 employees in Central New York.
