Billund Airport COO René Høgh Jensen said: “We design our airport with our passengers in mind. This modernisation of technology allows us to improve the experience for our passengers today, and ensure we are able to meet capacity demands in the future.
“We found in Amadeus the right IT partner to upgrade the quality of our processes and reach a new stage on the journey towards complete digitalisation.”
Billund Airport has also deployed the Amadeus Baggage Reconciliation System that has been completely integrated with airline and ground handler systems.
The cloud-based system tracks passengers’ luggage in real-time, improving the traceability and reducing the possibility of mishandled bags.
