Altaport, an airport operations management systems supplier, has partnered with 1200.aero, a company providing airport operations tracking, to provide a new service that automates operations tracking, fee collection, and transient management for airports, all within a single integrated platform. Altaport and 1200.aero designed the platform to support airport managers facing ever-increasing demands on their time and resources, and to support airports in their preparations for Advanced Air Mobility (AAM).
According to Cory Cozzens, CEO of Altaport. “This platform provides airport managers with resources invaluable to the airports’ efforts to ensure safe and efficient airport operations, and takes us one more critical step towards a fully-automated airport operations management solution,” said Cory Cozzens, CEO of Altaport.
This new collaboration integrates 1200.aero’s ADS-B operations tracking, visualization, and reporting solution with Altaport’s automated fee collection and transient management offerings. Leveraging this platform, airports are able to increase visibility into airport usage, improve FAA reporting and safety efforts, and enhance revenue collection. The platform has been implemented at several general aviation airports, including Paso Robles Municipal Airport (KPRB), Penn Yan Airport (KPEO), and Miami University Airport (KOXD).
“The service provided by 1200.aero and Altaport has greatly increased efficiency at Paso Robles Airport,” said Mark Scandalis, Manager of Paso Robles Municipal Airport. “As a non-towered General Aviation Airport with limited staffing and resources, the Airport sought solutions for operations tracking, data collection, and use fee collection. The onboarding of the 1200.aero and Altaport platforms has helped the Airport accurately track aircraft operations, free up staff time, collect revenue for the ongoing maintenance of the Municipal Airport, and justify FAA grant funding requests including retention of our FAA funding status for our crosswind runway.”
Using Brazil’s helicopter market as an analog for advanced air mobility (AAM) traffic, Altaport has deployed its technology to high-volume helipads and major air taxi operators in São Paulo. Altaport plans to lay the foundation of the AAM ground infrastructure network needed to support the launch of day-one eVTOL operations.
