Thales and Stinville awarded air traffic modernization contract in Peru with TopSky - AMHS system

Thales together with its local partner Stinville, are revolutionizing Peru’s air traffic communication with the implementation of the TopSky - AMHS system, which will enable CORPAC to modernize the transmission of aeronautical messages, improving interoperability with other systems and align with the highest international standards set by ICAO.

This new contract includes the implementation of an advanced Aeronautical Message Handling System (AMHS), along with the implementation of a backup solution, which together will deliver the highest level of safety, along with enhanced efficiency and operational continuity in aeronautical communications management in Peru. The TopSky-AMHS system will thus integrate one of the main communication hubs of the Americas, ensuring connectivity between South American countries, the United States, Spain, and Central America. Thales partnered with Stinville, its industrial partner in Peru, to fulfil this contract.

Youzec Kurp, Vice-President Airspace Mobility Solutions, Thales commented: “This contract demonstrates Thales’s commitment to advancing air traffic management in Latin America. We are pleased to work with CORPAC and Stinville on this major project, which will modernize aeronautical communications management in the country, thereby delivering the highest standards of safety in operations.”

Ivan Ortega, CEO, Stinville stated: “We are honored to play a leading role in this important project for CORPAC. Partnering with Thales, we will bring our local expertise and dedication to ensure the successful deployment of the TopSky – AMHS system, contributing to the modernization of Peru’s aeronautical infrastructure and its stronger integration within the global aviation community."

Thales’s TopSky - AMHS solution has already been adopted in many countries, proving its reliability and efficiency. Its implementation in Peru will also support the country’s aviation industry. By improving response times and coordination capabilities among various sector stakeholders such as CORPAC, the Peruvian Air Force, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, the Navy, airline operators, airport authorities, and meteorological services, it will help strengthen the entire air system.

Thales has already participated in many air traffic modernization projects across the region, providing innovative technological solutions to enhance the efficiency of aeronautical systems. The Group also inaugurated its integration and service centre in Mexico City in December 2023, which works with the entire Latin America and Caribbean region. With this new contract, Thales reaffirms its leadership in air traffic control, strengthening its presence in Latin America and reinforcing its commitment to innovation and safety in the aviation sector
