The Ethiopian Civil Aviation Authority (ECAA) is planing to deploy radar for Area Navigation Surveillance which improves safety and increase the Airport's efficiency.

The system is expected to be operational within six months, according to Bizuayehu Assefa, Director for Air Traffic Service with the Authority.

The Authority has already deployed full radar for Approach Navigation Surveillance two years ago.

Approach navigation surveillance for  Ethiopian Civil Aviation Authority is from 60 miles from Bole International Airport, where the radar for the navigation is installed.

The number of planes using the Airport is growing every year, as is the number of air transport operators for both scheduled and charter flights.
