easyJet to test new Airborne Volcanic Object Identifier and Detector system
easyJet have announced that they will be the first airline to trial a new technology called AVOID (Airborne Volcanic Object Identifier and Detector). This is a system which works very much like a weather radar but sees ash clouds rather than storms. This will allow pilots to change their routing to avoid these clouds and will also pass information to a ground control centre so that the information can be used to keep planes flying safely.
It’s great to see that such systems are being developed and more importantly that they are likely to be put into service. After the mass airspace closures in April this year, such technology should allow those in control of airspace to make better informed and more realistic decisions.
The mass closures have cost airlines and the travel industry millions at a time where the industry is already facing some of it’s lowest points and in future such general over-reaction must be avoided at all costs. Safety is obviously the number one concern every time a plane leaves the ground but such over-reaction should be controlled and should not be tolerated again.
AVOID should play a major role in seeing to it that this is the case.
