Fujitsu announced that it recently worked with the Narita International Airport Corp (NAA) to complete a full upgrade of the airport's NARC III air-traffic information management system, which handles air-traffic information, including anticipated aircraft departures and arrivals. NAA is the organization in charge of airport operations at Narita International Airport.
In October 2009, NAA undertook a construction project to lengthen Runway B from 2,180m to 2,500m. This is expected to increase the total number of flights the airport handles from 200,000 per year to 220,000 for the year beginning March 2010. The NARC III upgrade will enhance airport operations to better handle the increased traffic.
When the NAA migrated its NARC air-traffic information control system from a mainframe to open-system hardware, it eliminated the need for having to secure mainframe technicians, thus resolving the problem of carrying over their know-how to the next generation. Improved functionality and administrative efficiency were also reinforced by making the system easier to operate, enabling quick responses to air-traffic incidents caused by adverse weather conditions.
