SITA ControlBridge

Efficient operations don’t just happen, it takes the combined effort of many departments sitting at the airport to make air travel possible. However, today these units rely on people, systems and tools scattered around the airport. With SITA ControlBridge, you can breakdown the silos to coordinate, monitor and control all airport operations centrally. Improve collaborative decision making processes and boost your adaptability to changes in daily operations.

SITA ControlBridge seamlessly integrates the command and control capability of an airport across multiple traditionally standalone functions - airport operations, physical security, engineering and facilities management, baggage handling, emergency response, airport IT service desk – to create a single integrated airport control center. The outcome is improved operational efficiency, optimized resource management as well as quicker decision making and emergency response capabilities.

SITA ControlBridge puts you in complete control.

Reflecting our expertise and in-depth knowledge of the aviation industry processes, work environment, technology and integration capabilities, SITA ControlBridge, our solution for total airport management is comprised of:

• Professional services - consult, design, build and support   
• Managed technology - platform services and applications, including 3^rd party

Key benefits

• Enhances decision making due to a comprehensive view of the full airport operations – landside and airside
• Improves cross-departmental operations optimization and controls operational complexity
• Minimizes flight and passenger disruption through a single coordination point during irregular operations or emergencies
• Lessens the negative impact of adverse weather conditions, as the decision-making process allows for anticipation and a redistribution of resources, to facilitate a more rapid recovery phase
• Complies with EUROCONTROL Airport Collaborative Decision Making (A-CDM) Program and SESAR Airport Operations Centre (APOC) Concept

Savings

Consolidating from three or six control centers to one will result in a:

• Reduction in operating costs due to improved operational efficiencies and resources optimization
• Reduction in facilities total cost of ownership, through consolidation of infrastructure, reduction in IT support and reduced energy costs
