More movements, more efficiency, reduced costs and reduced environmental impact with the existing airport infrastructure - this is the operational approach provided by darts.

For the development of the cooperative arrival and departure management system delair has teamed up with DFS (Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH, German ANSP) which has developed the most advanced arrival manager (2nd generation). The result of this joint initiative with more than 20 years of experience in research and development is the first fully integrated arrival and departure manager which unlocks the maximum of unused existing capacity under all conditions.
