Langen, 31 July 2007 German ANS organisation receives ISO certificate DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH meets the quality management standard ISO 9001:2000 in all areas. Today Stefan Heinloth, managing director of the German Registrar for Management Systems (DQS), awarded the certificate to DFS CEO Dieter Kaden. Now all DFS business areas are certified according to ISO 9001. With this move, DFS has fulfilled an important requirement of the EU project Single European Sky (SES). To be able to provide air navigation services in Europe in the future, the ANS organisations will have to show that they have a quality management system in place. DFS has already achieved this objective with its company-wide ISO 9001 certificate. Mr Kaden commented that this success would not, however, lead DFS to be complacent about quality in the future. As the growing volume of air traffic is putting higher demands on air navigation services organisations, DFS definitely aims to “improve quality even further”. DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH is a State-owned company under private law and has 5,200 employees. DFS ensures the safe and punctual handling of flights. Staff coordinate around 10,000 aircraft movements in German airspace every day, and more than three million movements every year. With this large number of flights, Germany has the highest traffic volume in Europe. DFS operates control centres in Langen, Bremen, Karlsruhe and Munich. In addition, DFS is represented in the Eurocontrol Centre in Maastricht, the Netherlands, and in the control towers of the 16 international German airports. DFS provides training and consultancy services around the world and develops and sells air traffic control, surveillance and navigation systems. The company's portfolio also comprises flight-relevant data, aeronautical publications and aeronautical information services. DFS has the following business units: Control Centre, Tower, Aeronautical Solutions and Aeronautical Information Management. 14/01/2009 PRINT
