Amadeus reports it has secured 20 long-term IT agreements with Ground Handling companies in less than eighteen months since the launch of the Amadeus Altéa Departure Control System (DCS) for Ground Handlers. Once these 20 customers are fully migrated to the new platform by 2015, Amadeus estimates it will be processing 85 plus million passengers boarded per year.
Swissport International, a leading provider of ground services to the aviation sector, and SATS, a leading provider of gateway services in Asia are two of the latest companies to join the Amadeus Altéa family, Amadeus reports. Both Swissport, for its operations in European airports, and SATS will go through a phased migration process starting beginning of 2013.
Amadeus Altéa DCS for Ground Handlers is a community platform that permits customers to take advantage of the combined ground handlers' expertise and Amadeus technology. Amadeus’ specific solutions for ground handlers simplifies their interactions with the airline regardless of whether their airline customer uses the Amadeus Altéa suite of products or not.
