The proposed Implementation Project (IP) fully deploys ATN B1 capability within TAP Group Airlines (TAP Portugal and Portugália). For TAP Portugal, the IP completes the last steps of the overall Datalink Project already initiated in 2009. Concerning Portugalia's fleet, the proposed IP will allow operator to initiate and conclude fleet modification to comply with Data Link Services mandate.

To be noted that this IP includes tasks fully addressing ELSA Recommendation ID Avionics 01 (“Upgrade of avionics to the “best in class” performance”). Furthermore, equipping will be only done when the technical specifications of the technology are validated.
