SITA's Passenger Technology Being Installed at New Bangkok Airport

SITA says the new Bangkok International Airport (NBIA), now called Suvarnabhumi, will have over 600 of its CUTE (common-use terminal equipment) check-in work-stations when it opens this summer.

Besides an initial order for 600 CUTE  work-stations, SITA's $20-million, five-year contract also includes its Passenger Handler common-language check-in and boarding application, and an initial pilot of 50 CUSS (common-use self-service) kiosks to meet the needs of the forthcoming A380.

SITA's sub-contract is with SAMART Comtech, which is a member of the Airports Systems Integration Specialists (ASIS) consortium, and is charged with installing and maintaining the airport's technical equipment.  Besides SAMART, ASIS is comprised of Siemens, ABB, and Satyam Computer Services.  02-10-2006.
