DGCA has deployed Microsoft solutions to become future ready to handle 25 million passengers per annum and deal with the frequent changes in the aviation industry.
Directorate General of Civil Aviation IT operations manager Mohammad Al-Mutairi said: “The Government of Kuwait wants to better address issues that many international airports face: high traffic, long lines, and inefficient gate assignments.
“Kuwait’s aviation sector has undergone an orbit shift and has played a vital role in development of the economy. By implementing the latest Microsoft technology, the Kuwait International Airport will further enhance its servicing competences and drive transformation in the industry.”
Microsoft Azure Cloud will enable the DGCA to collect, manage and evaluate airport data, and transform them into actionable business intelligence and data visualisations.
