TCN started a new project of improving and upgrading the Meteo System in “Mother Teresa” International Airport, to the most advanced category. The project consists in the supply, installation and integration of new AWOS and ATIS systems. These are the most up-to-date and advanced systems manufactured by SAAB, the biggest Swedish technology supplier (www.saabgroup.com ), a world-leading company in METEO domain. The Meteo Sensors used in this project are manufactured by VAISALA (www.vaisala.com ), another world-leading vendor of most innovative sensors for metrological observation. The period of performance is about 10 months. TCN will provide full set of engineering services and training for the technicians and controllers of Albcontrol. The new systems will be in full compliance with the ICAO (www.icao.int ) and Eurocontrol (www.eurocontrol.int )Standards. This upgrade will mark significant improvements in weather observation and forecast parameters, as well as in increasing the flight safety and security at “Mother Teresa” International Airport of Tirana.
