SITA's advanced technology will set the foundation for Abu Dhabi International airport's new Midfield Terminal, which will serve an estimated 30m passengers annually from July 2017.
Under the terms of a five-year deal, the IT specialist will provide a full range of integrated airport solutions. This will include SITA's next generation airport management system, common-use passenger processing platform, automated boarding gates, flight information display systems and baggage management services.
SITA will also manage technology integration at the new terminal for IT and telecommunications technology, as well as other special airport systems. The SITA team will help the airport operator, Abu Dhabi Airport Company, meet any challenges presented during construction of the new terminal and ensure the technology meets the airport's operational goals.
