The company has implemented the first phase of the technology, which will help the airport attain maximum efficiency with the integration of airport operations, passenger and baggage services into one platform.

With this, AIG has launched an ‘agile, internet-enabled, model’ that can be scaled according to the passenger demand.

The first phase implementation was completed during the Covid-19 lockdown and the second phase is set to be completed by the end of this year.

In the second phase, Amadeus’ Altea Departure Control, self-service check-in and e-gates will be implemented to make the transit easy for passengers at the airport.
