SITA is hopeful that being able to offer an A-CDM product that is increasingly in demand by airports worldwide will reinforce its position as the leader in Airport Management Systems (AMS). The additional functionalities afforded by the A-CDM include departure sequencing, de-icing and performance management, all of which extend the reach of SITA's Airport Management solution, currently used by more than 150 airports in 48 countries.
SITA's CEO, Francesco Violante, commented on the acquisition: "The addition of delair's depth of airport A-CDM expertise will provide SITA's customers with an even stronger comprehensive Airport Management solution resulting in greater control of their operations, simplifying complexity and improving profitability. This acquisition will further bolster SITA's position as the number one airport ICT provider, with presence in over 1,000 airports around the world."
On July 23, SITA has announced the acquisition of private company delair Air Traffic Systems, a provider of Airport Collaborative Decision Making (A-CDM) solutions for airports.
