Implements Amadeus and related solutions for improved passenger experience
Air travel has been on the upswing in Azerbaijan, the oil rich Central Asian nation. In line with this drive for global connectivity, Heydar Aliyev International Airport in Baku has partnered with Amadeus to implement its core airport management systems.
Accordingly, the national flag carrier Azerbaijan Airlines is implementing Amadeus Altéa Passenger Service Systems (PSS) and Revenue Management solutions.
The airport will also deploy its key passenger processing systems using Amadeus’ cloud-based Airport Common Use Service. The move represents the first time an airport has relied on the cloud to deliver all its core systems.
The implementation of these new airport systems will enable world-class operations at Baku’s international airport with all actors now working from a single, consistent view of operations without the need for manual updates.
Accordingly, the move to Amadeus’ cloud-based Airport Operational Database (AODB) will ensure real-time awareness of airline schedule changes thanks to automated updates to the system. At every other airport in the world, teams rely on airlines to alert airports of such changes followed by manual updates to the AODB.
“Our partnership with Amadeus will help us develop new revenue streams and improve operational efficiencies,” affirmed Jahangir Asgerov, CEO, Azerbaijan Airlines.
“Our multiple teams at Baku can now work more collaboratively to address thanks to our new cloud-based systems. We’re proud to be leading the airport industry in the adoption of cloud computing,” asserted Teymur Gasanov, Director, Heydar Aliyev International Airport.
“Successfully working with Baku to manage both its passenger and operational systems in the cloud is a landmark for Amadeus in the airport industry,” observed Bruno Spada, Executive Vice President, Airport IT, Amadeus.
