Contract Agreement Reached With Russian Ministry Of
Transportation
Jeppesen and the Russian Ministry of Transportation have agreed
to a new contract that supplies Jeppesen with access to Russian
domestic airport data. As Jeppesen previously had been granted
access to Russian domestic airway system data, the agreement
increases Jeppesen navigation, operations and optimization
solutions available for Russian operators. With access to both
domestic airway system and domestic airport data, Jeppesen will be
able to provide a complete Russian flight information solution,
which includes domestic and international NavData services, JetPlan
flight planning, OpsData aircraft performance analysis and paper
and digital charting. Jeppesen processing of Russian domestic data
also helps to enable the transition from paper to electronic
charting information on the flight deck for Russian operators.
“Inclusion of Russian domestic information onboard FMS
navigation databases, flight planning systems and terminal and
enroute charting provided by Jeppesen will allow us and other
Russian airlines to increase safety and the economic efficiency of
Russian domestic flights,” said Alexander Sharun, chief
navigator and head of the UTair Airlines air navigation/AIS
department. “Complete and accurate aeronautical information
related to Russian domestic airports and airways is critically
important to our operation.”
Through the agreement, Jeppesen’s NavData databases will
contain all Russian airways as well as international and domestic
airport and runway data. Aircraft flight management systems are now
able to process this data. Domestic Russian approach, arrival and
departure procedures will be gradually added to the NavData
database. “The addition of processed Russian domestic airport
data into the Jeppesen Aviation Database provides a wealth of new
solutions available to improve flight-critical information delivery
for our Russian customers,” said Gregor Schneider, Jeppesen
data product manager, Aviation. “The new airport data
provides increased value for our Russian customers, while our
enhanced total information solution also works to increase
efficiency and optimize operations on the ground and in the
air.”
Publication of Jeppesen terminal charts for Russia in both paper
and electronic formats started this summer and enroute charts with
domestic airway information are expected to be available by the end
of the year.
The information about the Russian domestic airway system and
domestic airports may only be used by operators registered in the
Russian Federation. There is a procedure in place for foreign
operators on how to receive permission to use domestic airports and
airways of the Russian Federation, if required for flight
operations.
