One of the fastest-growing airports in the world, Dubai International has a goal to handle 60 million passengers annually by 2010. Its expansion and renovation program features innovative terminal design and several of the most advanced IT systems available, including an airport operational database (AirDBTM), resource management system (AirPlanTM), and flight information display system (AirVUETM) with 1,400 screens. Also included are a building integration system, management information system, eight-language digital public address system, and airport-wide secure data network.
“We are delighted to be providing support for the ARINC systems at Dubai International Airport,” stated Jim L. Martin, AMS Senior Director. “By integrating the support for multiple IT systems at Dubai, we will deliver an end-to-end maintenance solution that ensures the cost-effective, efficient, and smooth airport operations necessary to maintain their position as the most advanced aviation hub of the Middle East region.”
AMS has been steadily increasing its commitment to the Middle East. Last year, Cairo International Airport awarded AMS a contract for operations and maintenance services for its new Terminal 3—including a local 24x7 service desk for call center support.
