SITA said that the aviation sector has been facing major impediments and changing passenger preferences over the last couple of years, which calls for the need to adapt.
In order to cope with these requirements, SITA will ramp up its investments in new solutions that offer ‘smarter ways of working using existing and new technologies.’
The company also intends to partner with companies within and outside the air transport industry to support innovation or test new sustainable systems within their operations.
