GE's Naverus Continues to Expand in China (GE)

Naverus, a part of GE Aviation Systems, announced it will begin Required Navigation Performance work at a sixth Chinese airport, Lijiang, that will help improve Air China and Sichuan Airlines access and schedule reliability into the Yunnan Province in China. Naverus will continue work for China Southern at Linzhi and for Air China and Sichuan Airlines at Lhasa expanding the Chinese RNP network further. Naverus-designed RNP paths have been implemented at three other Chinese airports- Bangda, Yushu and Jiuzhaigou.

Naverus is designing highly-precise approach and departure procedures for both Air China and Sichuan Airlines fleets of Airbus A319s at Lijiang airport. Upon regulatory approval to fly the paths, the Naverus-designed RNP procedures will allow the operators’ A319 aircraft to arrive and depart the airport through rugged mountainous terrain, even in adverse weather conditions.
