Engineering design and software specialist Transoft Solutions Inc. has acquired airspace and airport modelling solutions company Airtopsoft SA.
Brussels-based Airtopsoft will continue operating as a standalone company. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Founded in 2006, it launched its flagship software AirTOp and has since positioned itself as a developer of advanced simulation solutions for decision making and analysis for airport, air traffic control and airspace professionals, says Transoft.
Its customers include airports, air navigation service providers, research labs, service companies, aircraft manufacturers and airlines.
Milton Carrasco, president and CEO of Canada-based Transoft, said: “Airtopsoft’s solutions not only expand Transoft’s aviation product offering into airspace planning and operations, but also brings innovative technologies that can be used to enhance its other products.”
“The technology in the AirTOp product range is very advanced and is a solid platform for exciting new developments in airspace and airport fast-time simulation,” added Ben van Leest, vice-president of aviation at Transoft.
Airtopsoft’s founder and managing director, Thierry Salvant, commented: “The operational synergies we stand to gain from this transaction will pay immediate dividends by allowing us to intensify our focus on research and development, and that means even better solutions in the near future. I’m looking forward to continuing to provide leadership for our portfolio of airport and airspace modelling solutions.”
