Overview
SITATEX is a client-based software application that generates and receives Type B messages – the standard format for messaging in the air transport industry (ATI).
Messages and documents can be communicated via the Internet, IP networks and dial connections. These tasks are accomplished through a simple-to-use interface designed for the ATI operational messaging environment.

Multi-user
- Same user interface as single user
- Ideal for many SITATEX workstations in a Local Area Network (LAN)
- Ideal for aviation operational messaging
