EGNOS keeps contributing to safer and more precise navigation, with 2025 marking solid progress across aviation, maritime, and rail. The latest EGNOS Bulletin highlights how operators are modernizing their fleets and infrastructure with satellite-based capabilities that increase safety, reliability, and efficiency.
In aviation, Condor completed a major fleet renewal, equipping its Airbus NEO aircraft with LPV capability to support more stable, fuel-efficient approaches. Pilots report smoother operations and improved safety, especially at airports with limited ground infrastructure. Airgreen is also prepared for the new era, with 14 of its helicopters already fitted with LPV and ongoing collaboration with Italian authorities to expand procedures that support emergency missions in challenging terrain.
The use of EGNOS in inland waterways is progressing too. The Port of Seville now uses EGNOS-based corrections to enhance vessel tracking along the Guadalquivir River, improving accuracy and helping authorities manage narrow inland waterways more safely.
Rail freight operators are rapidly adopting EGNSS devices as well. More than 200,000 wagons now rely on enhanced positioning based on EGNSS, with steady growth expected through 2028 as companies integrate advanced telematics for better tracking and lower emissions.
This issue reviews the story and evolution of Airbus’ LPV-capable fleet, and provides an insightful interview with DSNA, the Air Navigation Service Provider of France, addressing topics such as the impact of satellite-based procedures in French airspace, as well as the main challenges and trends in this field.
Overall, this new bulletin shows how EGNOS is contributing to safer and smarter transport across Europe.
