The development of the new TopSky-ATC release is supported by an innovative governance structure that fosters collaboration, shared decision-making, and ownership among Alliance One members. By aligning priorities and harmonizing needs among ANSPs, Thales' approach facilitates the continuous development of a product that evolves regularly to meet the ever-changing demands of the industry.

Thales remains committed to evolving its TopSky-ATC system in alignment with the priorities of its ANSP clients, continuously adapting to meet industry standards. This dedication significantly enhances the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of air traffic across Europe.

We are not only excited that our long-time customer, HungaroControl, has renewed its trust in our TopSky - ATC solution, but also thrilled to join them on this important journey towards the future of air traffic control. We deeply appreciate the increasing attention and support that Alliance One and our product users have received, and we look forward to reaching better skies together said Christian Rivierre, VP Airspace Mobility Solutions, Thales.

Our long-standing relationship with Thales is based on mutual trust and satisfaction.
