Indra Group launched LinkiaThe first digital platform on the market designed to integrate all air traffic management (ATM) systems into a common infrastructure. Presented at the event AirSpace World de LisboaThe solution addresses the challenges of security, digitalization, and operational complexity, aligning with the vision of Digital European Sky.
This initiative by the Spanish multinational represents a structural advance in the way air navigation service provider (ANSP) systems are managed. Linkia It offers a pioneering model capable of flexibly integrating ANSP application operations and updates on an independent and scalable architecture, unifying for the first time applications from different providers and technological generations.
A paradigm shift for air navigation providers
The air transport sector faces an increasingly demanding operating environment, marked by traffic growth, congestion, and a high degree of interdependence between systems. In this context, any incident can trigger cascading effects, requiring faster, real-time data-driven decision-making. The new solution from Indra Group acts as an intermediary software layer (middleware) which allows multiple ATM applications to coexist on a unified infrastructure.
Built natively for the ATM environment, the platform is based on IndraMind, the secure artificial intelligence platform and cyber resilient de Indra Group for mission-critical operations. This eliminates the need to maintain isolated environments and significantly reduces operational complexity. As a result, ANSPs can deploy, update, and scale applications in a matter of hours, instead of requiring specific engineering projects for each implementation.
"With Linkia We are taking a decisive step in transforming the ANSP operating model. We are not simply integrating systems; we are changing how ATM operations are managed. Indra Group “We have designed a platform prepared to progress continuously, operate in critical systems, simplify operations and lay the foundations for the future of air traffic by combining technological innovation and applicable regulations,” he explained. Víctor Martínez, general manager of ATM in Indra Group.

| Key Benefit | It reduces operational complexity and allows for the deployment of applications in hours, without specific engineering projects. |
| Technological Future | Prepared for the progressive and safe incorporation of AI and other emerging technologies under aeronautical regulations. |
Agnostic and future-proof technology
The architecture of Linkia It is infrastructure-agnostic, which facilitates its secure deployment in proprietary environments (on-premise), public, private, or hybrid clouds. This flexibility allows air navigation service providers to move towards more digital operating models gradually and in a controlled manner, without abrupt disruptions.
Furthermore, the platform envisions the safe and gradual integration of emerging technologies such as Artificial IntelligenceThis process will always be carried out under the strict regulatory requirements of a critical environment such as air traffic management, guaranteeing an evolution towards a more automated, predictive, efficient and safe system.
Indra GroupWith technology present in more than 90% of daily flights worldwide, this launch reinforces its leadership in solutions that cover the entire air traffic management cycle, from ATM automation systems and radars to digital towers and drone management.
Key points and frequently asked questions about Linkia and the future of ATMs
How does Linkia affect the operations of a Spanish logistics or air transport company?
Although Linkia It is a tool for air navigation service providers, with a direct impact across the entire value chain. More efficient, coordinated, and resilient air traffic management translates into reduced delays, optimized routes, and increased airspace capacity. For Spanish companies, this means greater predictability in their operations, fuel cost savings, and an overall improvement in logistics chain efficiency.
What does it mean for the platform to be aligned with the Digital European Sky and what implications does this have for Spain?
El Digital European Sky It is the initiative of the Unión Europea to modernize and digitize the single European sky. That Linkia Aligning with this vision means it is designed to meet future standards of interoperability, digitization, and security. España and its companies, this ensures that the technological infrastructure that manages its airspace will be compatible and competitive at a European level, facilitating cross-border trade and transport.
Is Linkia an exclusive solution for large suppliers or can it also benefit smaller operators in the aeronautical sector?
The scalable and flexible architecture of Linkia It is designed to adapt to the needs of different types of air navigation service providers (ANSPs). Its ability to operate in hybrid and cloud environments allows smaller operators to access advanced capabilities without the need for massive investments in their own infrastructure, democratizing access to cutting-edge air traffic management technology.
