Technology firm SITA has secured a contract to power the new international terminal at Algeria’s Houari Boumediene International Airport, also known as Algiers Airport.
SITA will deploy its airport management solution at Terminal 4, which was opened to the public this April.
The technology vendor said that its platform will enable the airport to manage every aspect of operations, from the terminal to the airfield.
Leveraging the new solution, Algiers Airport can centrally manage baggage handling, as well as passenger processing.
SITA claims that the solution will also support the real-time distribution of resources throughout the terminal.
The company has already deployed over 156 common-use check-in and boarding gates along with 12 self-service kiosks for passengers using the new terminal.
