    GeoEye announced last week that it received a multi-year, multi-million dollar contract from GE Aviation to produce aviation reference data to serve hundreds of the world’s busiest airports. GE Aviation hopes to utilize GeoEye 3D Airports and Terrain/Obstacle databases produced from GeoEye’s stereo satellite imagery. These GeoEye aeronautical databases will be imbedded into GE Aviation’s products and services. GeoEye’s goal is to capture all of the world’s International Air Transport Association (IATA) airports over the next decade.

    Dejan Damjanovic, GeoEye’s Director of Air and Marine Solutions, said, “GeoEye’s unique ability to acquire 3D Airport intelligence using the highest resolution and highest accuracy commercial satellites in the world, coupled with our decade of aeronautical expertise, make our 3D Airports the best choice for GE Aviation’s needs.”

    GeoEye 3D Airport Maps give a three-dimensional geospatial model of an airport’s features that are required to support aircraft and helicopter operations. GeoEye 3D Airport Terrain and Obstacles provide information regarding natural elevation and man-made obstacles near airports. GE Aviation plans to imbed these value-added geospatial products in their next generation products and services to facilitate Performance Based Navigation operations that will increase commercial flight frequency and fuel efficiency while reducing carbon emissions.
