TADERA launched a partnership with the FAA, where we support several programs focused on airport data management, safety, and operations.In 2014, TADERA implemented our AirportIQ Secure Credentials identity management at Los Angeles International Airport.

TADERA’s AIMS software revolutionized digital airport data, becoming the standard for FAA and state aviation departments.
