AVTECH Completes Dubai Wake Vortex Analysis Project


AVTECH Sweden AB (publ), (“AVTECH”, the “Company”), today announces that the
Company has successfully completed and received full final payments on the
previously communicated Dubai Wake Vortex Project including expansions and
extensions through options with Dubai Air Navigation Services (“DANS”).
“Successfully completing this important contract with Dubai Air Navigation
Services we have gained a lot of additional knowledge on the behavioral patterns
of Wake Vortex at the largest international airport in the world. The
opportunity to execute the work assignment has also provided us with an
excellent opportunity to successfully validate the Wake Vortex related models
that we have been developing and refining over a number of years”, says Niklaes
Persson, AVTECH’s Business Unit Director Research and Development.

“Moving ahead we believe that the successful execution opens for more business
opportunities in the Middle East and elsewhere, and we also believe that it is
an important stepping stone in the work on a potential operational Wake Vortex
solution, as previously communicated to the market”, says Anders Palm, AVTECH’s
Business Unit Director Consultancy.

“This experience strengthens our capabilities to explore opportunities within
Wake Vortex and Time-based Operations and we are currently recruiting several
highly qualified Wake Vortex and system engineers for continued specialized
development of an Operational Wake Vortex system, towards a potential future
standalone Business Unit. Developments are fully funded by the investment
decision previously communicated, but further external collaborations and
funding are also investigated. All-in-all, the outlook within the area is
promising indeed”, finishes Niklaes Persson.
