Guided by the national directive to enhance the safety of Philippine aviation, and as emphasized by President Ferdinand βBongbongβ R. Marcos Jr and DOTr Secretary Vince B. Dizon, the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) has formalized a partnership with Aireon to leverage space-based surveillance technologies.
On Thursday, 26 June 2025, CAAP signed a new partnership with Aireon, a company that specializes in satellite-powered air traffic surveillance.
Through a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding, CAAP will get access to Aireonβs Safety Dashboard β a real-time analytics tool that tracks aircraft safety events like Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) alerts, emergency squawks, Risk of Runway Overrun, rejected takeoffs, Time-to-Conflict and GNSS interference.
Under this collaborative agreement CAAP will have a three-month trial of the Safety Dashboard Platform at no cost to the government.
This access to Aireon’s data will be beneficial for the DGCA 59-signed Regional Data Sharing MOU with Civil Aviation Authorities (CAAs) from Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore to share important safety data across Southeast Asia.
The Aireon Safety Dashboard is a web-based tool that provides Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) with a visual overview of key safety indicators in the airspace. It helps ANSPs identify, monitor, and analyze leading indicators of risk, such as Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) resolution advisories, transponder alerts, and the risk of runway excursions.
