Fraport Brasil has installed SITA's enger processing technology at the two airports it manages in Brazil, Fortaleza (FOR) and Porto Alegre (POA).
The new self-service gates provide engers with automated entry into the security area with a simple boarding scan. This will reduce queues and make the process four times more efficient.
Andreea Pal, CEO of Fraport Brasil, said: “A significant part of our mission is to invest in infrastructure to transform the enger experience and make operations highly efficient at these two airports. To do this, we need to provide automation at as many touchpoints as possible, which is why we installed gates that read bar-coded boarding es.”
Fraport Brasil implemented a total of 26 SITA self-service gates: 14 at Fortaleza airport (FOR) and 12 at Porto Alegre airport (POA). Andrea continued: “We selected SITA because we know that using their technology allows us to process four times as many engers to access the security checkpoint. This will significantly improve the traveler experience.”
SITA's solution enables secure checks of airport systems and manages the integration of third-party hardware and software with the airport's existing IT infrastructure.
Elbson Quadros, SITA Vice President for Latin America, said: “There is no doubt that engers want automation because it makes their journey through the airport much smoother. And because it eliminates the need for manual checks at every step of the journey, it's more accurate making more efficient use of airport resources.”
SITA is the leading provider of airport technology in Latin America, covering all areas including enger processing, airport operations, baggage, border management and aircraft communication.
Combining all these technologies creates efficiencies for airports, airlines, government agencies, ground handlers and, most importantly, engers. A world leader in airport management, Fraport AG operates at around 30 airports worldwide, including Frankfurt Airport (FRA).
Serving more than 70 million engers in 2019, FRA is 's largest airport and one of the most important hubs in the international air transport system. In early 2018, Fraport Brasil started its concessions to manage and develop the airports in Fortaleza and Porto Alegre for 30 and 25 years, respectively.
