    Transoft Solutions has launched AirTOP 2025, the latest version of its fast-time simulation software. AirTOP is a powerful tool for airport and airspace planners and operators who want to efficiently design and operate airport terminal facilities, airfields, and airspace.

    AirTOP 2025 brings new features that improve the accuracy and realism of airport operations and analysis. It includes a DWG importer for faster file imports and a new set of terminal reports. The reports have a summary table to help users compare against the IATA Level of Service (LoS) without facing any issues. The software also offers smoother navigation for panning, rotating, and zooming. Updates to the Airside Aircraft module ensure compliance with security rules for towing and departing aircraft. Additionally, improvements to the AIXM importer help prevent duplication, save time, and simplify workflows. Below are some of the key highlights in this release.

    New features

    All modules | Workflow streamlines as DWG files can now be imported directly into AirTOP without requiring any prior conversion to SHP format.

    Terminal | A new set of automatically generated reports added to the AirTOP Reporter includes a summary table for comparing results against the IATA LoS.

    Improved features

    All modules | It is now possible to review the changes that will be applied when importing an AIXM before the changes are committed, simplifying the model maintenance and workflow.

    Terminal | 3D enhancements in panning, rotating, and zooming commands improve navigation, for example with vertical exaggeration between floors.

    Airside Aircraft | An update in Stand Off Positions for departing and towing aircraft supports operational practices at certain airports, particularly in the US, to comply with security requirements.

    Airside Aircraft | Improved Push Back Clearance help users manage pushback clearances with greater precision.

    Runway Capacity Analyzer | A new chart that shows the average Delay vs Throughput when selecting multiple analyses has been added to improve results.

    TMA/TRACON | The improved AIXM importer prevents duplicate element creation (e.g., SIDLegs) by reusing existing objects to reduce modeling time and simplify the process of updating existing models.

    Seamlessly enhancing airport and airspace operations

    AirTOP is an indispensable resource for airport planners and operators focused on designing and managing terminal facilities, airfields, and airspace. The latest version highlights Transoft’s commitment to improving design processes while maintaining safety and compliance standards. The software includes integrated modules that enable users to create and simulate all aspects within AirTOP.
