Adelaide Airport has announced it has replaced its key operational IT systems with automated solutions provided by Madrid-based IT firm Amadeus. <\/p>\n
The airport has adopted Amadeus' full suite of cloud-based airport data management systems, which is expected to streamline Adelaide Airport's management of aircraft parking, boarding gates, check-in desks, customer information, and other mission critical airport terminal services. <\/p>\n
\"With our new terminal hotel about to start construction, the plans for the expansion of the terminal well advanced and new check-in kiosks and automated baggage systems being deployed, we need the right airport technology partner that can support our growth,\" said David Blackwell, Adelaide Airport executive general manager for customer service. <\/p>\n
With more than 8 million passengers annually and a forecast of more than 18 million passengers by 2034, Adelaide Airport said it has implemented three Amadeus' Airport Solutions -- Airport Operational Database, Airport Fixed Resource Management Solution, and Flight Information Display System -- in a bid to meet growth plans and be \"future-ready\". <\/p>\n
\"These sophisticated aeronautical airport data management systems are the first cloud-hosted systems in Australasia and this partnership positions Adelaide Airport as a leader in airport operational data management,\" Amadeus added. <\/p>\n
As a result of its new technology, Adelaide Airport said it will receive accurate and timely data from its daily operations, including information on flights, passengers, baggage, and equipment. <\/p>\n
Over 124 airlines in more than 190 countries currently rely on Amadeus systems to manage travel reservations. <\/p>\n
Speaking with ZDNet earlier this year, Olaf Schnapauff, CTO of global operations at Amadeus, explained that when taking a flight anywhere in the world, the technology will likely be run by Amadeus. <\/p>\n
\"Amadeus provides the technology that keeps the travel sector moving. From the initial search to find what you want, to making a booking, to pricing, ticketing, reservations, check-in and departure, hotels, rail, and the overall travel experience,\" Schnapauff said. <\/p>\n
In 2015, Amadeus handled almost 450 million passengers, 4 million booking at peak times each day, according to the CTO. <\/p>\n
