Meandair Chief Commercial Officer André Bos:
"Today we announce our expansion from standard resolution to high-resolution for the African continent. Over the last months our team has worked hard to increase the resolution to 1 x 1 km, what we call a high-resolution region, seamlessly moving over our customer to even better quality Nowcasts, whilst still continuing to support them with the best service for their day-to-day operations. We are excited to announce that all our current and future customers are now enjoying high-resolution weather Nowcasts for the African continent without facing any disruption. This expands our high-resolution coverage of Europe, North America and South-America. All other regions are currently available at "standard resolution" as available and currently known from other weather providers. As per our customer requirements we will be expanding our high-resolution coverages to Asia and Oceania over the next months."
The upgrade also applies to Meandair's aviation service AirportWeather.com, now serving high-resolution weather reports and forecasts (AW-METAR and AW-TAF) to all airports, traditionally not covered by weather stations.
Meandair announces it's high-resolution coverages to expand with Asia and Oceania next months, targeting full global high-resolution coverage by the end of 2025.
