“The strength of our airport management technology is that it enables information to be shared among the various stakeholders in the airport, so everyone can be better informed, anticipate issues, make better decisions and be more efficient.”

In March last year, Flughafen Zürich (Zurich Airport) won the 30-year concession for the ‘Floripa Airport’ and commenced operations in January this year.

The company is set to invest more than R$500m ($160m) to upgrade the airport, including construction of a new terminal, which is scheduled to open in October 2019.

Floripa Airport CEO Tobias Markert said: “SITA is enabling us to make the whole airport more efficient by automating important functions, which in turn will allow us to streamline our decision-making and resource allocation.”
