7 August 2019:Grupo Aeroportuario Del Pacifico (GAP), a company that operates airports in the Pacific region of Mexico, has moved its 11th airport onto the SITA AirportConnect Open platform. By using this technology, GAP plans to drive growth by attracting international carriers to General Rodolfo Sanchez Taboada International Airport which is also known as Mexicali International Airport.
At Mexicali Airport, SITA will provide self-service kiosks, check-in areas and boarding gates running on SITA AirportConnect Open. With the help of SITA's technology efficiency can be brought to the airport, as all airlines would share the same check-in and boarding equipment while international airlines can operate in the same way they do at other airports around the world
Juan Francisco Martinez Mira, IT and Innovation Quality Director at GAP said, "SITA is the ideal technology partner for GAP. Together we have developed an IT plan across our group so that our costs for SITA's services are harmonized across all the airports we operate. At Mexicali the solution SITA has provided will improve capacity and allow us to grow our passenger numbers further. Currently, the vast majority of traffic is domestic but with SITA's world-class technology we hope to increase international passenger numbers."
Elbson Quadros, SITA Vice President, Latin America said, "Our technology partnership with GAP supports the development of airports in Mexico with 11 airports managed by the group using our systems. The investment in this technology has the benefit of improving the airport experience by processing passengers quickly and providing easy self-service options. It also allows airlines to operate easily using common-use standards, which will encourage the growth of international traffic."
