Abu Dhabi Airports has partnered with
global IT provider Sita to introduce its technologies across Abu Dhabi
International Airport's (AUH) three terminals. The move is part of Abu Dhabi
Airports' preparations for AUH handling a capacity of 45 million passengers by
2017.
The
investment in Sita's innovations will bring Abu Dhabi International Airport's
IT infrastructure in line with the systems that Sita is already implementing in
the Midfield Terminal Building, currently under construction. These new
technologies will help to improve the airport's operational efficiency while
providing a seamless passenger experience across all terminals.
As
part of the five-year contract, Sita will provide a range of advanced and fully
integrated airport systems. One of these includes their airport management
solution which will allow Abu Dhabi Airports to manage the operation of AUH by
providing real-time information from across all facilities. This will enable
the operations team to plan for events before they happen, while ensuring
resources are fully optimized.
Other
key products from Sita include AirportConnect Open, which enables airlines to
share check-in areas, kiosks and boarding areas while still having access to
their own data, and BagManager which allows bags to be tracked in real time,
providing a clear status on any bag no matter where it is in the baggage
system.
In
addition to these three systems, passengers will also enjoy new automated
boarding gates and flight information display systems.
Eng
Ahmad Al Haddabi, chief operations officer, Abu Dhabi Airports, said: "Abu
Dhabi International Airport continues to experience double-digit passenger
growth and therefore we are investing in new airport facilities that will allow
us to accommodate the forecast future increase in passengers.
