Can you go into detail about the
Airport Management Solution?
SITA’s Airport Management Solution (AMS)
is a suite of integrated software applications
designed to effectively manage airport
operations from the terminal to the airfield
enabling airport users to centrally manage
everything from passenger processing,
baggage handling to the real-time allocation
of fundamental resources across the
terminal. SITA AMS consists of the following
software applications:
• AirportCentral: It provides data
capabilities and automated functions for
receiving, processing, and distributing
consolidated data, allowing for a
consistent view of operations in a
complex multi-user environment

• AirportResource Manager: This tool
enables scheduling, capacity planning
and resource management systems
for fixed airport resources and simple
management of mobile resources
including check-in and boarding desks,
gates, carousels, baggage chutes and
aircraft parking stands
• Flight Information Display system:
It shows flight and arrival baggage
information details to passengers across
the entire terminal
SITA AMS is equipped with powerful reporting
tools that help tracking the infrastructure,
capacity and resource constraints and
generate customised reports for the specific
requirements of airport decision makers at
all levels and covering all areas of operations
performance throughout the airport. In
addition, SITA’s automated aeronautical billing
systems collect data from all sources operating
inside an airport and enable a cost effective
and highly accurate revenue collection.
In Algeria, key systems from SITA AMS suite
have been selected to support the smooth
opening and operations management of
Algeria’s new international terminal at
Houari Boumediene International Airport.
The new terminal, which opened to the public
in April 2019, is among the first airports in
North Africa to use the latest generation of
SITA’s Airport Management Solution.
