Thales awarded innovative Airport Operation Control Centre contract for “Lyon Saint-Exupéry” airport
September 2014 by Marc Jacob
Thales has been selected by Aéroports de Lyon for the supply,
integration and support of the new airport operation control centre of
the “Lyon Saint-Exupéry” airport.
The Airport Operation Control Centre (AOCC) which will equip the
airport, is designed to meet the evolving needs of modern airports like
“Lyon Saint-Exupéry”. The AOCC is an innovative and advanced
integration platform which combines operations management and
security systems into a seamless solution, thus addressing the
complexity of managing complicated airport environments.
Thanks to its innovative process optimisation solution, Thales’s modular
and scalable AOCC will allow Aéroports de Lyon to run airport
operations efficiently and effectively. The solution integrates a number
of different systems, an approach which enhances global situation
awareness, monitors key performance indicators and facilitates
collaborative decision making. As a result, the AOCC can promptly
identify and manage events and alarms thanks to the integration of all
airport systems, including, security, airport IT, airside systems and
technical monitoring.
In concert with Aéroports de Lyon’s expansion plans for the airport, the
project is scheduled to be completed in 2015 and the new AOCC will
manage both the existing terminal and the new one under
construction.
This new project confirms Thales’s global airport security expertise,
complementing its successful references and security solutions across
many major international hubs including Dubai, Doha, Durban and
Singapore.
