SITA AirportHub will also minimise the chances of network isolation at the airport.

SITA Asia Pacific president Sumesh Patel said: “SITA’s investment in AirportHub infrastructure over the past few years has been of huge benefit to the entire air transport community. It makes opening new routes at airports much quicker and easier for airlines.

“When they are connecting their systems at an airport they can now do so within a matter of weeks not months. This streamlined approach is efficient and cost-effective.”

Port Moresby airport will be able to connect all of its applications and IT systems with SITA AirportHub, eliminating the need to contract local telecom providers and adding flexibility to route management.
