Aviation tech specialist SITA takes over Malta airport daily IT operations

A partnership between Malta International Airport and global air transport IT specialist SITA entering into effect on 1 July 2016 will allow Malta International Airport to focus on strategic investment and innovation, as SITA will take over the airport’s day-to-day ICT operations.

President of SITA’s European domain, Dave Bakker, said: “As a global supplier of end-to-end solutions to the broader air transport industry, we are in the unique position of being able to support the full gamut of airport, airline, and government systems found in airports today.”

“This allows us to take our service to the industry a step further, by managing the end-to-end ICT infrastructure for airports while guiding their future investment to ensure cost savings and improved service delivery,” he added.

This partnership precedes the first phase of a hefty investment in the airport’s Terminal.

“We recognise that developing our ICT infrastructure is fundamental to our future growth. In light of this, we are delighted to be partnering with SITA, the market leader in this industry, and look forward to working together on a digital blueprint to meet our future demands,” CEO of MIA Alan Borg said.
