The use of the platform will allow the airports to access and deploy passenger processing systems both within and outside the terminal.

"Our cloud-based platform is central to Amadeus’ broader commitment to improve airports’ operational efficiency and the passenger experience."

Avinor expects the technology to be useful during disruptions as the data is accessible through a PC, laptop or a mobile device.

Avinor Group CIO Brede Nielsen said: "Switching to the cloud will help pave the road to this objective and change the traditional passenger-processing environment at airports for the better.

"Furthermore, by using Amadeus’ technology, The Avinor Group will be able to provide our airports with an innovative technology solution at a 25% cost reduction to the previous CUTE/CUPPS service whilst increasing customer satisfaction."
