Asiana Airlines and Air Busan select Rockwell Collins flight tracking service

Korea-based Asiana Airlines and its subsidiary Air Busan have selected Rockwell Collins’ ARINC MultiLink aircraft tracking service for their respective fleets, joining a number of other airlines around the world. ARINC MultiLink brings together multiple data sources to reliably report the location of a commercial aircraft anywhere in the world, particularly in remote areas. In addition to utilizing Rockwell Collins’ proprietary high-frequency data link (HFDL) performance data, the service merges several other data sources including ACARS position reports, ADS-C, ADS-B, ASDI radar data and EUROCONTROL position information. The service offers a comprehensive and cost-effective global flight tracking solution for the world’s airlines. ARINC MultiLink is designed to support flexible position reporting frequency, enabling it to meet industry recommendations of providing position reports at least every 15 minutes. Airlines can also receive notifications when an aircraft has unexpectedly stopped reporting positional data or when the aircraft has deviated from its expected flight path.
