Airport-resource optimal utilization software
Quintiq software is designed to support the optimal assignment of gates, stands, check-in desks and other airport resources through all planning stages, including long-term capacity decision-making, resource scheduling and last-minute revisions.

- Optimal resource utilization
- Increased flexibility – quick and easy reassignment of gates to respond to last minute changes and disturbances
- Optimum usage of prime gates and stands
