Saab’s next generation Digital Tower selected for Vilnius Airport in Lithuania
In April, the certified European Air Navigation Service Provider Oro Navigacija (ON) selects Saab to provide its advanced Digital Tower solution for Vilnius Airport, making it the first capital airport to fully adopt this technology. The solution enhances operational efficiency and flexibility, enables centralised air traffic control for additional regional airports, and supports the long-term development of Lithuania's aviation sector.
The solution is based on Saab’s latest Integrated – Digital Tower Suite or I-DTS architecture, and will equip Vilnius Airport with 4K cameras and the latest presentation functionality for air traffic controllers. It also provides a foundation for integrating future technological advancements such as AI-based features and unmanned traffic management (UTM) services. This system will significantly enhance the efficiency and availability of air traffic services while enabling a centralised approach for multiple airports in the country.

By adopting Saab’s digital tower solution, ON is taking a significant step toward modernising air traffic management and strengthening Lithuania’s aviation infrastructure. The technology will allow ON to share resources and expertise across multiple airports, with potential future integration of Kaunas and Palanga airports into the system. This solution will also make air traffic management at Vilnius Airport more reliable and efficient. With its proven track record in deploying digital tower solutions worldwide, Saab continues to drive the evolution of air traffic control, enabling safer, more flexible, and efficient airport operations.
