Studies: Aeronautical & Feasibility
Feasibility Study for the establishment of a separate dedicated Apron Management Services (AMS) unit
America
A major airport in America with two parallel runways wants to grow further to achieve the plans defined within its Master Plan. Necessarily this means that air traffic services need to accompany in this road of growth, so that it can operate more than the current over 300,000 annual aircraft movements.
One of the actions that would enable such growth was the specialisation of roles in regard to air traffic services, and precisely the establishment of a separate dedicated unit for Apron Management Services (AMS). This new unit would alleviate the incumbent air traffic control unit, so that their resources can focus on the taxiway and runway system.
DFS Aviation Services was contracted to assess the feasibility of establishing a separate dedicated unit for Apron Management Services (AMS), which would consider the specifics of the status quo within that airport, the proposal of how the new service could be (operationally and financially), its potential location, technology and ATM-Systems, and a detailed action plan and schedule to implement the new service. The outcome of the project enabled the customer to make an informed decision on whether to maintain AMS within the ANSP, or whether to externalise it.

BAIRES TMA Redesign and Implementation
Buenos Aires, Argentina
The BAIRES TMA in Argentina, which handles 50% of the country’s air traffic, underwent a redesign and implementation. By introducing Performance Based Navigation (PBN) procedures and satellite navigation, the project aimed to enhance safety, capacity, and efficiency while reducing emissions and noise. DFS Aviation Services (DAS) played a key role in this ambitious international consortium project, achieving impressive results such as an 89% reduction in IFR-IFR conflicts and a 99% decrease in departure delays.

Capacity & Consultancy
Airfield Capacity Assessment Study for Doha International Airport
Qatar
Despite the development of a new airport in Doha (Qatar), the need of increasing capacities at the airport in use was mandatory due to a future undefined simultaneous use of both airports. Furthermore, Qatar’s national carrier, Qatar Airways, was constantly expanding with a growth rate beyond industry average.
Therefore, the project aimed at examining the existing system and identifying constraints in order to give customised recommendations for implementing improvement in and conducting optimisation of procedures and capacities to QR.
DFS Group was contracted to identify existing airfield capacity constraints at Doha International Airport (DOH), review existing procedures and processes of DOH, recommend a Declared Runway Capacity value, provide recommendations to enable an optimization and mitigation of operational capacities at DOH; and provide recommendations for capacity enhancement measures to be implemented in the short term.

System Transition
ATM System Transition due to relocation
Bahrain Civil Aviation Affairs, BCAA
The Bahrain Civil Aviation Affairs (BCAA) has been planning to move its existing ATS facilities and services to new premises. Indra decided to rely on the experience and know-how of DAS for the development of the Safety Case documentation for the change implementation of the entire new iCAS (iTEC Centre Automation Systems) ATM system, the training plan for the operational staff and the required transition. The DAS Safety Case conducted in close collaboration between DAS and DFS Aviation Services Bahrain aimed at ensuring that the safety standards required by the BCAA were maintained. The hazards arising from the changes to be made were systematically identified and a strategy to manage the safety risks arising from the consequences of the hazards was subsequently developed, implemented and evaluated.
