• Frequentis leads major international consortium to develop next-generation ATS (Air Traffic Services) platform in the NATICA project
• Project focuses on future ATS architecture, seamless trajectory-sharing services, and AI-supported controller tools
• NATICA brings together 14 partners from across the ATM ecosystem

Europe’s air traffic system needs a more connected, resilient way of working so controllers can manage growing traffic safely and efficiently. Frequentis is leading the newly launched SESAR Joint Undertaking project, NATICA, to advance the future of air traffic management (ATM) through next-generation air traffic services (ATS). Launched in September 2026, the project will run for 36 months. 

“With NATICA, we are taking an important step towards a more open, scalable and resilient ATM ecosystem,” said Michael Holzbauer, Director European Affairs ATM at Frequentis. “By coordinating this international consortium, Frequentis is bringing together the expertise required to make the new Service Delivery Model tangible for operational environments. The future of ATM depends on secure, interoperable, data-driven services and meaningful automation to support controllers in their daily work. NATICA allows us to validate these capabilities with leading partners across the aviation ecosystem.”

• Estonian Air Navigation Services (EANS) has gone live with Digital NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) services using the Frequentis CADAS product suite
• One of the first operational digital NOTAM implementations in Europe
• Milestone supports the transition to fully digital, interoperable aeronautical information management (AIM)

This milestone reflects the growing momentum of digital AIM across Europe and the industry's transition from traditional text-based information handling to a fully digital, integrated aeronautical data environment. By enabling structured, machine-readable aeronautical information, Digital NOTAM services improve safety, operational efficiency, and the seamless exchange of information across the aviation ecosystem.

"Seeing EANS become one of the first air navigation service providers in Europe to bring Digital NOTAM services into operational use is an important milestone in the digital transformation of aviation," says Josef Kutschi, Managing Director of Frequentis Comsoft. "We are proud to support EANS in taking a leading role in the digital transformation of AIM across Europe and helping to build the interoperable information services that will shape the future of ATM."
