| Business Line: Project Management | | | | | | Project Name: | Management of Passenger & Baggage Check-in Services for Egyptian Airports Company at the Egyptian Airports (SITA I) | | Status: On Going | | Start Date: 16/12/2002 | | |
|
Situation:
It is a solution delivered by SITA Company as a services provider in 2000. Since it was established in Nov, 2003, AVIT has been managing this project on behalf of the two companies EAC and CAC.
After AVIT have acquired a full responsibility for managing SITA I for the remote airports, in addition to all IT work in Civil Aviation, AVIT has contracted with SITA again for another project, named "SITA II" which is managed by AVIT on behalf of the two companies EAC and CAC.

Business Solution:
This solution has been implemented at HRG –SSH – LXR – ASW – ABS –HBE
HRG:
Check-in Counters: 18
Gates: 9
SSH:
Check-in Counters: 20
Gates: 9
LXR:
Check-in Counters: 12
Gates: 3
ASW:
Check-in Counters: 10
Gates: 6
ABS:
Check-in Counters: 4
Gates: 1
HBE:
Check-in Counters: 4
Gates: 2
SITA I included the following systems :
- CUTE System (Common User Terminal Enabler)
- BRS System (Baggage Reconciliation System)
- AODB System (Airport Operational Data Base)
- FIDS System (Flight Information Display System)
- ARM System (Airport Resources Management )
- Billing system (MACOLA)
And all these systems(except CUTE) were to be integrated with the AODB.
Project Progress:
Now about 85 % has been finished.The remaining 15 % is for :
- Enhancing AODB
- Billing system
- ARM
- FIDS in HRG

Benefits:
For CUTE:-
- CUTE system enables airlines and their handling agents to access their respective IT application in real time and at any location at an airport on equipment shared by all users.
- Using an array of the latest technologies, CUTE/NT offers an open architecture to provide a cost effective and transparent global solution benefiting airport owners and airlines by optimizing limited terminal infrastructure, speeding passenger flow and improving service levels.
- Automate the check-in process to achieve IATA , ICAO regulation for Safety and Security.
For BRS System:-
- Bag Manager (previously known as IBRIS—Interactive Baggage Reconciliation Information System) was developed to provide a way for airlines, handling agents and airports to implement the baggage security recommendations of ICAO Annex 17, section 4.3.1 (specifically, that unaccompanied hold baggage is not to be carried).
- Tighter security, by ensuring that passengers and their baggage travel together.
- Improved customer service, by minimizing baggage handling errors and misdirected baggage, and by providing real-time information to those that need it.
- Improved baggage control, by tracking and recording the location of every bag within an airport and across multiple airports.
- Bag Manager has been developed to reconcile bags with passengers as they move through and between airports. The system provides positive passenger bag match ensuring that passengers and their bags travel together on the same aircraft.
For AODB System :
- It is a one Centralized D.B to support the aviation organization ( EMCA).
- Movement information is recorded, processed and managed to satisfy the strategic goals of the authority.
For FIDS system :
- It helps the passenger to go through the airport according to the flight information display on the plasma within terminal area.
- The airport can use the flight information received from the AODB for:
* Web
Internet has made it possible to distribute information publicly to any interested and concerned person and institution. Live flight and movement information can be fed from Airport Central to the airport web site.
* Hotels
Hotels can make flight schedules and flight progression available on TV sets in the rooms and lobbies. Airport Central feeds the information to the server in the hotel from where it is displayed in real-time.
* Peer-to-Peer
Airport Central can exchange information programmatically with other computer systems such as systems at airlines and handlers. Typical information that the airport provides to the airlines is resources allocated to movements while the airline can provide estimated times as well as load capacities, including souls on board.
For ARM :-
- Contains the following modules :
* Slot Manger
* Stand Management
* Carousel
* Check-in Counter
* Gate
* Runway
In SITA I, we had one module only (SLOT manger) which was used for slot allocation according to airline requests depending on airport capacity.
- AVIT has developed a web-enabled application to facilitate the electronic request for slot and this application is available to user by both the airline and agent.
For Billing System (MACOLA):-
- It is used to collect the Aeronautical Fees.
- Fully Integrated Modular Solution.
- Designed to Control all Aspects of Billing (Income).
- Designed to Control all Expenses (Comparison to Budget) and do Cash Flow Forecasting.
- Business Intelligence allows Management to Monitor Actual Performance to Key Business Indicators.
- Financial calculation for aeronautical services rendered at the participating airports will be performed in the AODB. These calculations will be interfaced to the Financial System where the required financial processes is available for the production of invoices to aircraft operators and where the mechanisms are in place to do credit control with the associated reporting. |
Software Used:
