EgyptAir is embarking on a transformative upgrade of its network infrastructure to boost its efficiency and deliver more reliable services for passengers.
The airline has selected advanced connectivity and infrastructure solutions from SITA, the global leader in air transport technology.
According to the company, this strategic ‘modernisation’ equips EGYPTAIR with scalable, cloud-native connectivity to meet growing bandwidth, security, and automation demands.
With SITA Connect Go, the airline will further strengthen its core infrastructure with secure airport connectivity, infrastructure protection, Secure Service Edge (SSE) management, and enhanced messaging and service assurance.
The airline’s operations are also expected to benefit from SITA’s Community Departure Control System (DCS), which will help streamline ground processes, driving cost efficiency across its network.
The agreement was signed in Cairo by Eng. Yasser Omran, Head of the Information Sector at EGYPTAIR Holding Company, and Houssam Dakroub, Director, North & French speaking Africa at SITA.
“Airlines across the Middle East and Africa are facing a period of rapid change,” said Selim Bouri, President, Middle East & Africa at SITA.
“Passenger demand is surging, airports are getting busier, and the pressure to operate more efficiently, securely, and sustainably has never been greater.
“By embracing next-generation connectivity, EgyptAir is future-proofing its operations and strengthening its ability to compete in an increasingly dynamic regional aviation landscape.”
This agreement is a continuation of the development journey of the Egyptian civil aviation sector and strengthens its competitiveness as a pivotal regional center for aviation, IT, and digital services.
The airline’s focus on adopting the latest smart solutions, will contribute to strengthening performance efficiency and improving the passenger experience at Egyptian airports.
