First remotely controlled landing at Linköping/Saab Airport
Today, on April 30, the first aircraft to use remote air traffic control landed at Linköping/Saab Airport. This makes it the third Swedish airport to adopt this technology, and it will soon be fully operational for remote air traffic control.”The approach and landing were remotely controlled by the air traffic controllers at the tower in Sundsvall, and at 10.00 the plane’s wheels hit the tarmac. At 11.30 the first scheduled flight, a KLM from Amsterdam landed,” says Per Kjellander, head of operations at LFV. The landing was carried out three weeks after the airport had received approval
