MLS for LHR.(International / Industry)

Airports International, January, 2008

Airbus has received Category IIIb approval from EASA to utilise Thales' MLS precision approach and landing system on A320 family. British Airways will be the first to use MLS, implementing it at Heathrow on its A320s and A321s. MLS uses microwave signals that are less susceptible to interference from other aircraft moving around airport taxiways or from buildings than the current ILS.

Airports equipped with MLS will be able to increase their traffic flow during bad weather conditions, no longer having to re-route aircraft when visibility is low.
