Mumbai: Mumbai International Airport Pvt. Ltd. (MIAL) today announced that it is going live with India’s first modern airport management system at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (CSIA), Mumbai.
The airport management system has been installed by the global provider of airport IT solutions, SITA. This innovation heralds a significant turning point with a shift from reliance on manual systems to IT-driven automation which enables end-to-end management of airport resources in real-time.
CSIA which is India’s busiest airport has witnessed a huge growth of passenger and freight volumes over the last five years. For the period April 2006-March 2007 passenger traffic at CSIA was 22.25 million, up by 21% over the corresponding period in the previous year.
The full suite of SITA IT Applications included in the airport management system for Mumbai International Airport comprises Airport Central, (Airport Operations Data Base); Airport Resource Manager (a Resource Management System); and Airport Vision (Flight Information Display System).
Airport Central provides a centralised database and automated functions for receiving, processing and distributing consolidated operations data and is linked to the “what if” capability of Airport Resource Manager which enables analysis of multiple scenarios for long-range planning.
