Supporting the Indian air transport community
A land of opportunities
After two decades of both stagnation and unprecedented growth, Indian civil aviation is now entering a new phase of development. Despite recent growth, less than 2% of Indians travel by air in any given year. Thus, we have barely arrived at the threshold of India's potential. By 2027, according to Airports Council International (ACI), India will be the third largest aviation market in the world.
SITA has been an active participant in the Indian air transport community for over 60 years. We have supported the development of Air India almost from its inception. Today, we are involved in all aspects of air transport in India, from the cockpit to the baggage carousel, from airline operations to airport management.
SITA has pioneered airport IT system automation in India, including:
- Introducing check-in systems for multi-airline use, such as Common Use Terminal Equipment (CUTE) and more recently Common Use Self Service (CUSS) kiosks
- Introducing a Baggage Reconciliation System (BRS) in Bangalore International Airport
- Introducing India's first Airport Management System (AMS) at Mumbai International Airport
- Supporting the country's border management by providing Advance Passenger Information System (APIS) services to more than 50 airlines
