The Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) will implement SITA technology in Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) in Manila, Philippines, offering business travellers more efficient boarding and check-in experiences.
In this first stage of NAIA’s transformation, SITA will completely overhaul the passenger processing systems in Terminal 1 and 2, putting its next-generation technology SITA AirportConnect Open in place. This will be the platform for NAIA’s next phase of transformation over the coming months, allowing the airport to introduce common-use self-service kiosks, self-bag drop and self-boarding gates.
Manila’s first local departure control system will also be implemented, which will provide vital back up to the airlines in cases of disruption of their systems.
As part of its strategy to manage the balance between continuous passenger flow and stringent security measures, the MIAA is also evaluating systems which allow security agents to quickly and efficiently validate passengers’ paper and mobile bar-coded boarding passes. These will support the transformation and better facilitate the flow of passengers through airport security.
MIAA’s strategic transformation of the two terminals is in line with international standards set by IATA in the Fast Travel programme, which addresses the future of travel and provides more choice and more control for passengers while lowering costs for the industry. www.manila-airport.net
