Korean Air, Thai Airways, and Xiamen Airlines recently signed or renewed GLOBALink communications contracts with ARINC. By using ARINC’s GLOBALink services, these airlines are able to respond faster to flight delays and diversions and report aircraft movements more accurately. The use of data link messaging also reduces voice radio channel congestion.
“Data transfer and communications between our aircraft and the operations control center has become increasingly effective following the implementation of GLOBALink,” said Thanet Suvongse, Thai Airways Deputy Director Flight Technical and Document Support. “The data link service is a no-compromise solution that helps us maintain constant communications to operate safely, with improved on-time and fuel-used performance.”
“The aviation industry is always looking toward innovative and effective solutions to enhance their operations,” stated Jim L. Martin, Managing Director, ARINC Asia Pacific Division. “Providing a state-of-the-art and efficient data link system for our airline customers has always been a strong commitment of ARINC, and we will continue to develop GLOBALink to meet the growing needs of our customers.”
