For most businesses today’s challenges lie in the ability to respond to the growing requirements of the many departments for operational, statistical and financial information.
More and more Airports and Air Traffic Control Units are reassessing their “Information Technology Strategy “ and how to support their mission critical issues of the 1990’s and to ensure that they have in place solutions that will carry them well into the 21st century.
Many Airports and ATC Units have already moved towards open systems where information can be accessed and shared across a multitude of disparate hardware systems, operating systems and networks.
Senior management realise that in order that the different departments contained within an airport to work in harmony, they must link and integrate their resources, people, equipment, facilities and information across the airport’s local or wide area network and where necessary on the web.
Typical Airport Systems
The above picture shows a typical airport management system with information flowing between systems via a central database connected to the airport LAN or WAN.
The airport systems can be from one supplier or can be disparate systems from different suppliers.
Triggers can be inside or outside the database. Triggers outside of the database give complete system independence and allows updates from many different sources.
For instance the landing time entered by ATC automatically triggers landed on the flight information display system.
There are many departments on an airport that want to have information supplied in real time.
AIS has recognised this need and has developed ALDIS 2000 the market leading airport billing system and AFIDS 2001 which allow the different departments to access and share the information that staff at any modern airport require on a day to day basis
This web site provides an overview of the systems available that can be linked so that various departments can input and share information across an airport's local or wide area network.
