Chroma Airport Suite - Delivering the Next Generation Airport

Avinor, the Norwegian Airport Operator, is installing the world’s largest multi-airport operational database, centralising the core operational systems at 45 of its airports into a single IT environment.

One of the world’s largest airport operators, Avinor is adopting Amor Group’s industry-leading Chroma Airport Suite to centralise the majority of the airport operational systems – including AODB, RMS & FIDS – across 45 airports. This innovative approach allows Avinor to have a clear, real time view of all aspects of all of its airports, large and small, ensuring truly collaborative decision making which will increase performance and ultimately enhance passengers’ airport experiences.

This next generation airport system incorporates all the key risk management, flight information and passenger movement monitoring elements of the airport operational database that airport operators rely on daily.

Tore Weum, CIO at Avinor commented: “With air passenger numbers increasing year on year we have to ensure we continue to make the experience of using our airports as straightforward and enjoyable as possible. We wanted to standardise, simplify and realise greater operational efficiencies across our network of airports. This approach with Amor Group delivers that. It ensures we have an accurate overview of our entire operation allows us to continue improving the experience for both our passengers and airlines.”

“Amor is an expert in delivering the technology and insight required to operate both the airport and airport network of the future.”

Martin Bowman, Transport Sector Director at Amor Group, commented: “The pioneering new system will provide a consolidated, scalable and fully functional operational system to all of Avinor’s airports regardless of size. 

“Avinor is demonstrating its forward thinking philosophy by adopting such a large scale multi-airport operational environment, building towards joined up airside and passenger processes across their entire airport network. There is no doubt others in the industry will be watching closely.”

Avinor is using Amor’s Chroma Suite to centralise core operational systems including AODB, RMS and FIDS moving away from proprietary solutions. The eight year agreement with an option for an additional four years underlines Avinor’s long term commitment to this approach.

The new multi-airport operational airport environment using the Chroma Airport Suite provides a number of benefits:

  • Costly IATA Type B messaging to share flight details on a national level won’t have to be employed. Accessing such vital information will be more straight forward, more effective and more efficient;
  • The centralised solution  will reduce system administration and maintenance costs;
  • It will facilitate more efficient processes for reporting, statistics and billing;
  • It will provide more precise flight information data helping deliver efficient airport operations both for Avinor and its stakeholders;
  • Amor’s RMS solution will allow more efficient use of critical fixed and mobile airport resources;
  • The integration of commercial information through the Amor’s FIDS solution will extend use of information surfaces in general.
