Air Arabia introduces new passenger management system
aTP- Arab tourism portal- Air Arabia has unveiled plans to introduce Sita’s next-generation passenger management system to extract even greater efficiency across its operations.
Air Arabia, which carried close to 8 million passengers in 2015, will use Sita’s latest passenger service system to better manage the boarding of passengers across all destinations while streamlining the turnaround of the airline’s aircraft.
Through the Horizon Passenger Management and Distribution portfolio, Sita will provide the airline with its latest departure control and weight and balance systems.
Horizon Weight and Balance will increase fuel savings for the airline by providing full load planning capabilities, including a graphical user interface framework, for all the functionalities required to load and dispatch an aircraft.
This includes all legally required documentation for both airlines and ground handlers. Sita’s Horizon Departure Control Services (DCS) is a fully integrated multi-host system for automated check-in, boarding and load planning and has been used to check in more than 167 million passengers worldwide.
Air Arabia has also renewed Sita’s Type B Messaging Service, underpinning every operational aspect of the airline business by facilitating the sharing of crucial operational updates across the globe.
Hani El-Assaad, Sita president, Middle East, India and Africa, said: “For any airline getting all passengers onboard on time while managing every aspect of an aircraft turnaround is an extremely complex operation.
Our Horizon portfolio brings all those elements together, providing Air Arabia with the tools it needs to maintain the smooth running of it growing operation without compromising on the passenger experience it offers.”
