As per the contract, SITA will offer common-use self-service kiosks, check-in areas, and boarding gates running on SITA AirportConnect Open.
SITA’s technology will enable the airport and airlines to share the same check-in and boarding equipment to improve operational efficiency.
GAP IT and innovation quality director Juan Francisco Martinez Mira said: “SITA is the ideal technology partner for GAP. Together we have developed an IT plan across our group so that our costs for SITA’s services are harmonised across all the airports we operate.
“At Mexicali, the solution SITA has provided will improve capacity and allow us to grow our passenger numbers further. Currently, the vast majority of traffic is domestic, but with SITA’s world-class technology we hope to increase international passenger numbers.”
