European airframer Airbus has just announced it is to sell and provide required navigation performance (RNP) services to air navigation authorities, airlines and airports through a new 100 per cent subsidiary called Quovadis.
Services on offer from July 2009 will range from RNP procedures design, testing and flight operations packaging, to RNP training.
To support the new business, Airbus has signed a cooperation agreement for RNP procedure design with the French Civil Aviation University (ENAC) in Toulouse, and CGx AERO in SYS, a specialist in aeronautical and geographic information systems based in Castres, France.
