Thales and Stinville awarded air traffic modernization contract in Peru with TopSky - AMHS system

• This selection marks an important milestone for Thales and Stinville in the ongoing air traffic modernization in Latin America with the award of a first contract for CORPAC (Peruvian Corporation of Airports and Commercial Aviation) which aims to improve the processing of aeronautical messages with TopSky - AMHS (Aeronautical Message Handling System).
• This new system will cover more than 35 sites across the country and will optimize communication between air traffic control centers, airports, and international air navigation service providers (ANSPs).
• This contract, in collaboration with Thales's local partner Stinville, represents a significant advancement for the country's aeronautical infrastructure, further establishing Thales as a key partner in the modernization of air traffic management in Latin America.

Thales, global leader in advanced technologies for the aerospace sector, together with its local partner Stinville, are revolutionizing Peru's air traffic communication with the implementation of the TopSky - AMHS system, which will enable CORPAC to modernize the transmission of aeronautical messages, improving interoperability with other systems and align with the highest international standards set by ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization).

This new contract includes the implementation of an advanced Aeronautical Message Handling System (AMHS), along with the implementation of a backup solution, which together will deliver the highest level of safety, along with enhanced efficiency and operational continuity in aeronautical communications management in Peru. The TopSky-AMHS system will thus integrate one of the main communication hubs of the Americas, ensuring connectivity between South American countries, the United States, Spain, and Central America. Thales partnered with Stinville, its industrial partner in Peru, to fulfil this contract.

"This contract demonstrates Thales's commitment to advancing air traffic management in Latin America. We are pleased to work with CORPAC and Stinville on this major project, which will modernize aeronautical communications management in the country, thereby delivering the highest standards of safety in operations." Youzec Kurp, Vice-President Airspace Mobility Solutions, Thales.

Thales's TopSky - AMHS solution has already been adopted in many countries, proving its reliability and efficiency. Its implementation in Peru will also support the country's aviation industry. By improving response times and coordination capabilities among various sector stakeholders such as CORPAC, the Peruvian Air Force (FAP), the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGAC), the Navy, airline operators, airport authorities, and meteorological services, it will help strengthen the entire air system.

"We are honored to play a leading role in this important project for CORPAC. Partnering with Thales, we will bring our local expertise and dedication to ensure the successful deployment of the TopSky - AMHS system, contributing to the modernization of Peru's aeronautical infrastructure and its stronger integration within the global aviation community." Ivan Ortega, CEO, Stinville.

Thales has already participated in many air traffic modernization projects across the region, providing innovative technological solutions to enhance the efficiency of aeronautical systems. The Group also inaugurated its integration and service centre in Mexico City in December 2023, which works with the entire Latin America and Caribbean region. With this new contract, Thales reaffirms its leadership in air traffic control, strengthening its presence in Latin America and reinforcing its commitment to innovation and safety in the aviation sector
