Monday, April 14, 2008 by delair Air Traffic Systems

Braunschweig, Germany and Vienna, Austria – delair Air Traffic Systems, a provider of solutions for optimising airport processes, is to implement the resource management system 'sally' at Vienna Airport. delair was awarded the contract for 'sally' after responding to Vienna Airport’s international tender for a resource management system. The standard product, which helps to optimise the utilisation of stands and gates, was chosen by Vienna Airport due to its proven success and advanced features, including its fast planning algorithm and high flexibility. The resource manager will be fully operational at the end of 2008.

Engineer Anton Pfeffer, manager of aviation infrastructure development at Vienna Airport, explains: "In the frame of our tender for stand and gate management systems at Vienna Airport, and especially under consideration of the new terminal’s (Skylink) forthcoming initial operation, we reviewed several resource management systems. The system 'sally' from delair fulfilled our requirements best. It provides the highest amount of flexibility, such as the management of Schengen, non-Schengen, bus gates and pier gates relationships and rules. It supports the daily dispatchers with continuous planning proposals and it also fulfils our spe-cial requirements as a hub airport by considering connecting passengers … in the pre-planning phase as well as during the daily planning."
