Spire Global has been selected by Amadeus IT Group to supply a fused stream of ground and space-based ADS-B flight tracking data for integration into the Amadeus Virtual Airport Operations Center (vAPOC). The agreement follows a successful proof-of-concept and marks the transition to a fully live deployment across global airport networks.

Spire’s combined satellite and terrestrial ADS-B receiver network ensures uninterrupted aircraft visibility both on the ground and in flight, providing airport operators, airlines, and ground handlers with real-time position data. This unified view enhances traffic flow management, situational awareness and agility in responding to operational disruptions.

The partnership deepens Spire’s footprint in aviation analytics and is likely to boost recurring data service revenues. As Amadeus develops AI-driven scenario planning and predictive analytics within vAPOC, Spire stands to benefit from expanded use cases and potential upsells in operational forecasting tools.
