Melbourne, Jun 14: Eyeing to tap the huge potential of India's booming aviation sector, 'Airservices Australia' today announced a new business expansion plan that includes marketing its air traffic control, tower and airside products and services.

The state-owned Airservices Australia said it has identified both India and China as a major growth area of the future in airports, air traffic control management and associated airside business and will be unveiling a detailed strategy in the coming months.

The firm has signed a cooperation agreement with DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung, a German air navigation service provider, to pocket the massive chances provided by Asian and Gulf countries, including India and China.

A detailed strategy to market air traffic control, tower and airside products and services to India and China will be drawn after both the companies launch their sales mission in the Gulf region.

"Both Airservices and DFS have independently identified these regions as major growth areas of the future in airports, air traffic control management and associated airside business," Airservices Australia chief executive officer Greg Russell said in a statement.

DFS CEO Dieter Kaden said the partnership would see each body in a position to quote for larger style projects. "We are looking forward to the outcomes from this commercial partnership and the raised level of cooperation between the two leading world air navigation service providers."
