SITA’s technology is intended to help manage the peak passenger traffic smoothly, and ensure optimum utilisation of space and resources, aiding quick passenger manoeuvring through the airport.

Recently, during a renovation programme, ASUR had upgraded its passenger management platform to SITA AirportConnect Open.

This system aids the use of common-use passenger processing systems (CUPPS) and common-use self-service (CUSS) kiosks.
About 375 workstations and 80 self-service kiosks are in place at the airport, with nine self-service gates currently being installed along with SITA’s new flight information display system.
