The Global Market For Aeronautical Information Services (Ais) And Aeronautical Information Management (Aim) Equipment And Services 2009-2018

Countries covered: Global This survey has identified four key new strategic markets in relation to the development of AIM and, further, the exploitation of AIM data to key stakeholders. Though there will be a requirement to speed up AIM implementation to the ICAO timetable - which will require additional resources from non-state organisation - and further work to develop global standards for data input and output from specialist stakeholders - such as airport tower AIM services which may or may not be linked to ANSP services - these smaller sub-markets are relatively finite. The distribution of increasing numbers of AIM products is also considered as a separate market, though this relies on ANSP and CAA initiatives and is therefore not covered in the study. But to give an indication of the size of this sector currently, the FAA’s Distribution Division is responsible for the sale and distribution of FAA's aeronautical and NOAA's nautical charts and related publications to Government agencies, the public, and approximately 3,000 Authorized FAA Chart Sales Agents. The Division is also responsible for the public sale and distribution of aeronautical and nautical products produced by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). Increasingly digital charts and data will need to be distributed, invoiced and updated using internet media. Expenditure on AIS equipment and services is forecast to reach $2,163 million between 2009 and 2018. The market will be driven by: 1.The growth in data required per flight to support performance-based navigation and aircraft optimisation operations 2.The growth in traffic for both airline and business/general aviation activities. 3.The availability of standards and technologies which allow for the increasing exchange of data across stakeholders Accurate forecasting is made difficult by the lack of clarity surrounding all three issues and a clear definition between which services will be supplied “freely” (that it, recovered through user-charges) and those which will attract “value added” charges. The target date for introducing system-wide information management (SWIM) concepts, for Europe at least, will be 2015-2025. Depending on the results of the cost-benefit analysis, the use of currently available aeronautical communications networks, such as those provided by SITA and ARINC, could become important assets in the provision of AIM data, increasing the role of independent - that is, non-state - aeronautical service providers.

Additional Information

The report analyses the market available to commercial organizations - air navigation service providers, aeronautical database and information originators, software companies, telecommunications companies and others - in the AIS market, focusing on new commercial opportunities arising from transitioning between AIS and AIM networks, automating AIS data and integrating AIS/AIM information within airport, airline, ANSP and other aeronautical information management systems.

It reports on the timetable for transitioning from AIS to AIM networks. It forecasts values for each submarket:

• completing the ICAO road map for transition to AIM
• providing “value added” AIM services to the aircraft-operator market
• providing “value-added” AIM services to the airport market
• providing “value-added” AIM services to the ANSP market

It reports on the key market players and their success so far within the AIS/AIM transitioning market. It outlines contract wins, globally, market shares and forecast market values. It lists major AIS/AIM technology providers, their products and the markets in which have they won orders.
