Airport Integration of Operational Systems, Passenger Processing & Baggage Systems

Ultra Electronics Airport Systems (Ultra) celebrates first anniversary of successful operations at the new Mariscal Sucre International Airport (MSIA) in Quito, Ecuador.

MSIA is using a number of operational IT solutions and services from Ultra including: UltraDB (Airport Operational Database), UltraFIDS (Flight Information Display System) and UltraResource (Resource Management System), UltraCUSE (Common Use Passenger Processing System). Ultra also provisioned Common Use Self Service (CUSS) kiosks to the airport.  The Ultra operational IT solutions enable highly reliable customer services by providing airport and airline staff with accurate operational information to optimize passenger flow through the airport.  MSIA has also enjoyed better effective systems integration leading to improved automation, utilization and flexibility of key airport resources.

With passenger volumes expected to increase year on year (already predicting over 5.5 million passengers during 2014), airport management company Quiport S.A. has already begun construction works for a Phase 2A expansion as part of its Master Plan.  This will include an expansion of 5,260 square meters and two new passenger boarding bridges, allowing the terminal to handle 50% more passenger capacity during peak operations.

The extensiveness and scalability nature of Ultra’s suite of airport operational IT solutions means that the airport is very well placed to handle the expected passenger growth with increasing efficiency and Ultra looks forward to celebrating many more years of successful operations there.
