Aviation Weather
Aviation weather management from Vaisala maintains airport safety and operational efficiency in all kinds of weather conditions. Control your costs while accessing accurate, real-time weather information and situational awareness — in a single, complete AviMet weather management solution.
Adverse Weather
Extreme weather is dangerous for airports, and causes cost-prohibitive, inconvenient delays. Vaisala offers complete aviation weather management solutions to make operations safer and more efficient when severe conditions including lightning and windshear set in.
Runway Maintenance
Runway safety is vital, and continues to be aviation’s number-one safety concern. On top of this challenge, being able to operate at full capacity dramatically impacts operation costs. Vaisala understands both concerns regarding airport operations, and offers complete runway visibility measurement and management solutions that keep you functional and safe, while also simplifying your runway visual range (RVR) reporting.
A new approach: Total insights for approach area weather
Radar, lidar, lightning detection and decision support software combine for total weather awareness and high-resolution nowcasting to support the highest levels of safety and efficiency.
