Digital aircraft
New generation aircraft, new digital opportunities
The development of the digital aircraft, complete with IP-based systems, applications and wireless capabilities has had a major impact on airlines' operational efficiencies.
Able to communicate both within the aircraft and externally at rates several hundred times faster than those achievable over ACARS systems, these technologically advanced aircraft are enabling airlines to realize unprecedented operational improvements, develop new product differentiation and benefit from dramatic cost reductions.
Integrate air-ground IT systems and improve your operational efficiencies
Many of the benefits that digital aircraft bring to airlines can only be fully realized when the digital aircraft's complex airborne IT systems have been fully integrated with the airline's core IT systems on the ground. That's where SITA can help.
As an industry first, successful trials at Sydney International Airport have demonstrated that global broadband wireless connectivity during aircraft turnarounds can significantly improve airlines operations and reduce costs.
As the trials continue in the near future, SITA invites you to take part and realize the full potential of IP-based communications. To sign up for the trials and discover how we can help your airline leverage advanced aircraft capabilities in-flight and on the ground, please contact us at aircom.marketing@sita.aero.
