Naverus gets FAA approval to design new U.S. airline flight paths

Kent-based Naverus received Federal Aviation Administration approval Friday to design and validate flight paths for use by airlines at U.S. airports.

Kent-based Naverus, a pioneer in developing new satellite-based airplane navigation technology used to guide aircraft and streamline air traffic patterns around airports, received Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approval Friday to design and validate flight paths for use by airlines at U.S. airports.

The company has already developed flight paths for specific airlines and aircraft, known as "private use" of the technology, in the U.S. Elsewhere in the world — including China, Australia and Central and South America — Naverus has developed more widely used procedures.

With the approval, which follows a two-year process of developing oversight rules, Naverus can develop U.S. airport procedures for use by any airplane equipped with the latest navigation technology. It will allow the company to play a role in accelerating the FAA's proposed modernization of the U.S. air traffic system, known as NextGen.
