PASSUR Field Condition Reporting at SEA-TAC

By Ramon Lopez

PASSUR Aerospace says Seattle-Tacoma International (SEA-TAC) has contracted for an additional PASSUR airport solution designed to deliver operational efficiency, safety and cost effectiveness for key airport users. PASSUR OPSnet is a family of web-based solutions that includes Field Condition Reporting with eNOTAM integration. SEA-TAC has relied on other PASSUR solutions since 2006.

David Crowner, senior manager, Aviation Operations, Port of Seattle “is particularly excited about this system. Its deployment provides us with another information-sharing layer to allow for better, timelier decision-making and threat mitigation. This solution will provide us and our operational partners with the critical 'common operating picture' that is essential to safe and efficient operations."

Airports are being asked to provide more cost-effective, efficient, and safe airfield operations for carriers, to help them achieve greater throughput, quicker turns and
fewer ground delays - critical elements of airline profitability in today's challenging environment.

The PASSUR Airport Operations Program provides to airport ramp tower, operations and communication centers the alerts, decision support, planning and analysis tools they need to run a more efficient and safe operation, and the web platform for cost-effective communication, coordination and collaboration with all the airport's key constituencies.
