Digital Improvement: EGYPTAIR Embarks On Digital Transformation With SITA
In line with its digital transformation strategy and the goal of improving operational efficiency, EGYPTAIR has “entered into a strategic partnership with SITA” to “modernize EGYPTAIR’s communication systems and digital infrastructure using advanced solutions like SITA Connect Go.”
SITA says this strategic modernization “equips EGYPTAIR with scalable, cloud-native connectivity to meet growing bandwidth, security, and automation demands. With SITA Connect Go, the airline will further strengthen its core infrastructure with secure airport connectivity, infrastructure protection, Secure Service Edge (SSE) management, and enhanced messaging and service assurance.”
SITA says that EGYPTAIR’s operations will also benefit from its “Community Departure Control System (DCS), which will help streamline ground processes, driving cost efficiency across its network. Together, these improvements will help EGYPTAIR reduce reliance on aging legacy systems, increase network visibility, and mitigate operational risks.”
Selim Bouri, President Middle East and Africa at SITA, said: “Airlines across the Middle East and Africa are facing a period of rapid change. Passenger demand is surging, airports are getting busier, and the pressure to operate more efficiently, securely, and sustainably has never been greater…. By embracing next-generation connectivity, EgyptAir is future-proofing its operations and strengthening its ability to compete in an increasingly dynamic regional aviation landscape.”
Captain Ahmed Adel, Chairman & CEO of EGYPTAIR Holding Company, said: “This partnership with SITA is a cornerstone of our digital transformation strategy. By adopting cutting-edge solutions, we are enhancing our communication systems to support growth in tourism and travel, ensuring operational excellence and a superior passenger experience.”
