El Dorado International Airport in Bogota, Colombia has appointed DTN – a data, analytics and technology company – as its weather partner for the safety of airport operations.
DTN will provide the facility with its MetConsole LiDAR Windshear Alerting System (LiWAS) which is able to track dangerous winds that endanger aircraft. This will work alongside the site’s current weather observation systems.
