The new technology will enable the passenger processing systems to be accessed and deployed anywhere throughout the airport, enhancing flexibility and ensuring improved use of airport spaces.

With the new implementations, baggage handling information can also be shared with everyone involved in the process, allowing them to provide easy access to timely, high-quality operational data and fully automate the airport’s resource management system.

The airport will be able to manage and allocate aircraft parking bays, check-in desks, boarding gates, baggage and other mission-critical terminal services that will help meet its performance targets effectively.
