SITA Council president Jappe Blaauw said: "SITA is a member-driven organisation and these offers are designed to offer value and support in the areas that we know our 400 plus members are interested such as improved baggage management, driving the adoption of mobile self-service and taking advantage of cloud services.
"These exclusive offers will allow our members to quickly evaluate and adopt new and efficient technologies across the air transport industry."
SITA aims to provide passengers with a biometric authentication token for travelling through airports and across borders, without the need for several documents.
Along with its partners Orange Business Services and Adaptive Channel, SITA has developed new EntertainMe kiosks that are deployed at Terminal Five of London Heathrow Airport.
The kiosks will allow travellers to quickly download movies, magazines and newspapers on their iPhones or iPads to watch during their journey.
