Bahrain’s BAS inks deal with SITA to deploy new airport management system

Bahrain Airport Services (BAS) has signed a contract with the world’s leading specialist in air transport communications and information technology, SITA to implement SITA Airport Management, allowing BAS to manage its ground handler operations as efficiently as possible.

According to the statement, “A key component of the technology upgrade is SITA Mobile Resource Manager which calculates optimal staffing levels, creates optimized rosters, and gives a real-time view of task allocations and activities at Bahrain International Airport (BIA).”

Through the new system, agents will be offered mobile access to enable data entry at the time and place of their operations. The system can also be used by all BAS staff working on shift rosters.

The system will optimize resource deployment for ground handling management at BIA while also assisting us in enhancing planning, operational efficiency, employee management, and customer service.”

As per the statement, the approach ensures the involvement of ground operations staff by using digital PDAs to replace paper-based records of advocacy services provided to airline customers. Further,
