Spire Global Inc. (NYSE: SPIR) announced that Amadeus IT Group has selected the satellite data provider to supply aircraft tracking data for integration into Amadeus' Virtual Airport Operations Center platform.

The agreement involves Spire providing ground and space-based Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast data fusion to power real-time aircraft visibility within the vAPOC system. The platform provides airport operators, airlines, and ground handlers with operational oversight across airside and landside systems.

Spire's aviation intelligence uses a combination of ground and satellite receivers to ensure continuous aircraft visibility for airport operations. The company's global ADS-B network delivers worldwide coverage for tracking aircraft movements.

"Airport operations depend on accurate, real-time data to coordinate thousands of aircraft movements across complex airside and landside systems," said Johan Alex Varghese, Head of Aviation at Spire. "Our work with Amadeus brings together their powerful airport operations platform with Spire's global aircraft tracking data to deliver a more complete operational picture for airport operators."

Abhishek Krishna, Head of Data, AI, and Platform Product Management at Amadeus, stated that the platform delivers complete worldwide coverage that enables optimized traffic flow, enhanced situational awareness and responses to operational changes during daily operations and disruptions.

The teams progressed from an initial proof-of-concept to a live deployment of the vAPOC capabilities. Amadeus is developing additional AI-driven capabilities within vAPOC, including scenario planning tools and predictive analytics to support operational forecasting.
