SITA is enabling us to make the whole airport more efficient by automating important functions, which in turn will allow us to streamline our decision-making and resource allocation. The result will be a better service for airlines, including faster aircraft turnaround and, importantly, a better overall passenger experience,” said Tobias Markert, CEO of Floripa Airport.
