Airport Systems Integration Services

Singapore – ARINC Incorporated announced today that Vietnam's Tan Son Nhat International Airport (IATA: SGN) has renewed its contract with ARINC to provide maintenance and support services for its passenger processing systems. The contract renewal includes the provision of maintenance services for these systems that support the airport's growth and operations.

Each of the ARINC products in use at the airport provides an efficient and cost-effective solution that enhances and streamlines airport and airline operations. The iMUSE common use system processes passengers faster and more efficiently by sharing airport infrastructure and resources. The BagLink™ baggage sorting application facilitates baggage handling and minimizes the mishandling of baggage. AirDB™ and AirVUE™ work together to manage and control airport data that coordinates flight, baggage, rate, ramp information, and generate Flight Information Displays and other critical passenger information.

Tan Son Nhat International Airport is managed by The Airports Corporation of Viet Nam, a state-owned corporation. The Airports Corporation was created when the Vietnamese Ministry of Transport merged the Northern Airports, Central Airports, and Southern Airports Corporations. Previously, SGN was managed by Southern Airports Corporation (SAC).

"We are very pleased to renew our maintenance contract with ARINC," said Mr. Tran Van Thang, Deputy General Director of the former SAC. "They have provided us with an exceptional level of support, and our customers, including the airlines and ground handling companies have given us very positive feedback on system performance."

"TSN is our busiest airport in Vietnam, and system availability and performance is a no compromise. We have worked very closely with ARINC to ensure this, and we are very happy to continue our relationship to maintain high levels of operational efficiency to ensure that our passengers enjoy a smooth traveling experience," said Mr. Nguyen Dinh Hung, Managing Director of Saigon Ground Services, a subsidiary of the Airports Corporation and the former SAC.

Jim L. Martin, Managing Director for ARINC's Asia Pacific Operations commented, "We are grateful to be awarded this renewal contract for SGN, and we will continue to enhance our levels of service and support by working closely with all stakeholders to ensure maximum optimization of SGN's operations and efficiency."
