Surging passenger numbers, changing security requirements, rising costs, and longer lines are all part of the complex challenges facing airport operators trying to maximize efficiency and stay within budget. ARINC is driven to help your airport succeed in transitioning to the forward-thinking, cost-effective technology designed for end-to-end operational efficiency.

Airplane at the gate We have been intimately involved in supporting airport operations for decades—working closely with government agencies, independent facility operators, carriers, and a host of strategic partners to deliver proven, reliable, and flexible solutions.

AirPlan is an electronic “traffic cop” that continuously tracks aircraft, gate, and concourse availability—connecting multiple workstations, and seamlessly interoperating within the entire airport infrastructure. It automatically schedules gate facilities in near real time. This allows airport personnel to get a step ahead in assigning departure and arrival gates and baggage carousels. The bottom line: aircraft spend less time on the runway burning fuel and passengers spend less time on the ground.

The traveling public keeps its eyes on AirVUE^TM, our multimedia flight information display system (FIDS) that transmits arrival/departure times, gate assignments and other flight information to wireless devices throughout the airport. The XML-, video-, and Flash-capable technology sends flight data over the airport’s wireless web architecture, allowing passengers to view this vital information anywhere—at the airport, on their PDAs, cell phones, or any other Internet connection.

ARINC’s fully scalable database—AirDB—warehouses daily flight information, gate, belt, and desk assignments, as well as necessary historical data. AirDB interoperates critical architecture and is built to adapt as your needs change.

Whether it’s in the terminal, on the runway, or off-site—ARINC has every aspect of airport operations covered. Take a look at our solutions in passenger processing, baggage handling, security, networks, and voice and data communications.
