Queensland Airports general manager of technology Mark Allen said: “Gold Coast Airport had been one of Australia’s fastest-growing airports in the past decade. Throughout this time, SITA has been a trusted partner, ensuring we achieved our goals.

“SITA’s ability to deliver a smooth transition to a common-use passenger processing system (CUPPS), with complete flexibility to embrace individual carrier requirements, has been particularly valuable.”

Ranked as the fifth busiest international airport in the country, Gold Coast Airport reported an increase of around 6.5 million passengers in this fiscal year.  The airport expects the influx to grow two-fold by 2037.

SITA recently released its 2019 Air Transport IT Insights, which stated that automation of the passenger journey can offer a better experience.
