| Park Air Systems’ instrumental landing system ensures safe landing every day all year round at airports in China. |

The popularity of low-cost carriers and a global urge to travel have resulted in skies that are increasingly crowded, making safe, reliable aircraft instruments even more crucial.
Norway-based Park Air Systems helps meet the need — thousands of airplanes in more than 160 countries now use its systems.
For more than 30 years, the company’s Normarc instrument and satellite landing systems have been the industry benchmark. Over 100 million safe landings in nearly 500 airports worldwide have been made using Normarc equipment.
By integrating ground-to-air transmitters, receivers, transceivers and control equipment, the wholly-owned subsidiary of aerospace and defense conglomerate Northrop Grumman was the first to provide a complete air traffic control communication package.
Its approach and advanced surface movement guidance and control system, the Novan 9000 ATC, also allows comprehensive monitoring of air traffic in and around the airport.
With the aviation industry and the number of airports rapidly growing in China, Cato Engebretsen, director for navigation of Park Air Systems, expects a sharp rise in business in the country.
“We already have a 90 percent share of China’s market and have systems in 150 airports throughout China. While the navigation business has been in China since the early 1990s, we are now starting to bring other products into China,” Engebretsen said.
