Norway’s state-owned airport operator Avinor has chosen Netcompany to assist the digital transition of its 43 airports and the country’s airspace management.
The Nkr1.2bn ($116m) contract will see the Danish IT company work with Avinor as a strategic partner for three years across the digitalisation of operational processes and commercial activities at the airports.
André Rogaczewski, CEO of Netcompany, said: “Through our strategic partnership with Avinor, we continue our commitment to digitise and establish modern, data and AI-driven airports - ultimately benefiting the climate, the environment, passengers, and airlines.
“Avinor is one of the world’s most diverse and interesting operators and together we have great ambitions to further modernise the entire aviation sector.”
Avinor’s investment into digital infrastructure with Netcompany will focus on the use of new technology to improve customer experiences and operations for passengers and airlines, and increase value creation at Norway's airports.
The national operator and airspace manager welcomed 49 million passengers in 2023 to its airports, with more than half coming through Oslo Airport, and is hoping to use Netcompany’s experience to improve its operations across passenger, baggage, aircraft and airspace control.
Through its co-ownership of Smarter Airports, Netcompany already operates the AIRHART data platform at Copenhagen Airport, connecting more than 100 systems to one platform and said its latest agreement would make it the “digital backbone” of Scandinavian aviation.
