Egyptair, a leading Middle East and African airline, has embarked on a transformative upgrade to its network infrastructure, increasing operational efficiency, increasing resilience and providing more reliable services for passengers. As part of this modernization, Egypt Air has selected advanced connectivity and infrastructure solutions from SITA, the global leader in air transport technology.
This strategic modernization has scalable cloud-native connectivity in Egypt, meeting the demands of bandwidth, security and automation. With SITA Connect Go, airlines further strengthen their core infrastructure with secure airport connectivity, infrastructure protection, secure edge of service (SSE) management, and enhanced messaging and service assurance.
Egyptair's business also benefits from SITA's Community Departure Control System (DCS). This helps streamline ground processes and promotes cost-effectiveness across the network. Together, these improvements will help Egyptian Air reduce its dependence on aging legacy systems, increase network visibility and reduce operational risks.
Colonel Ahmed Adel, chairman and CEO of Egypt Holding Company, and the Middle Eastern President of SITA and African Selim Bouri attended the signing ceremony for the Strategic Agreement. This agreement was signed in Cairo by Eng. Yasser Omran, head of information at Egyptair Holding Company, and Houssam Dakroub, director of Northern and French speaking at SITA.
“Airlines in the Middle East and Africa are facing a period of rapid change.” Sita's Middle East and Africa president Selim Bouri said. “As passenger demand is surged, airports are busy and the pressure to operate more efficiently, safe and sustainably is unprecedented. Against this backdrop, Egypt is boldly driving its network infrastructure, giving airlines speed, resilience and agility, and will grow in the future as they continue to grow in the future. It will strengthen its ability to compete in an increasingly dynamic local aviation environment.”
The agreement is a continuation of the development journey of Egypt's civil aviation sector and strengthens its competitiveness as a vital regional centre for aviation, IT and digital services. The focus on adopting the latest smart solutions from airlines will contribute to enhance performance efficiency and improving passenger experience at Egyptian airports.
The partnership is expected to bring about major transformations in the company's communications system thanks to SITA's extensive experience in digital services, allowing it to continue its growth plans at the regional and international level. The initiative also strengthens Egypt's position as a regional aviation hub and is in line with the development goals of Egypt's civil aviation sector.
Captain Ahmedadell, chairman and CEO of Egypt Holding Company, added: “This partnership with SITA is the foundation of our digital transformation strategy. By adopting cutting-edge solutions, we support tourism and travel growth, ensuring operational excellence and a superior passenger experience” (/I).
The project is not SITA's global first globally, but it highlights the company's commitment to helping major airlines like Egypt transform their operations and prepare them for long-term growth.
