This move strengthens SITA’s offering, integrating processes, tech and design
As airports invest heavily in automation, biometrics, security, self-service and personalized commercial services, terminal layouts must evolve alongside these innovations.
The traditional model involving rows of check-in counters, static security areas, and inefficient passenger flows no longer makes sense. Instead, airports need seamless integration, where smart technology and intelligent design work together to reduce congestion and make the most out of every square meter.
Geneva, Switzerland-headquartered SITA, the global leader in air transport technology, recently announced the closure of the acquisition of CCM, headquartered in Milan, Italy, a world-renowned expert and leader in the design, production, and creation of airport interiors.
Strategic move
This strategic move aims to redefine how airports function by seamlessly blending technology and interior design to create future-ready spaces.
“With CCM’s deep design and execution expertise, we’re transforming airports to maximize their existing footprint, optimize passenger flow, and create smarter, more flexible and valuable airport terminal environments that evolve with the changing needs of the industry,” remarked David Lavorel, CEO, SITA.
“By combining our technology and experience in airport operations with their deep understanding of design and space optimization, we are bringing to the market a unique ‘technology by design’ capability and end-to-end integration from design to operations, all in harmony since the conception of the idea,” commented Sergio Colella, President, Europe, SITA.
“Together, we’re not just improving airports, we’re reshaping them for the future,” noted Monica Oberti, Interim CEO, CCM.
