Vancouver Airport Authority Reconfirms Decades-Long Partnership to AirIT with Decision to Upgrade PROPworks®

June 26, 2015
Vancouver Airport Authority will upgrade its PROPworks® airport business system platform as well as implement AirIT’s new Portal solution at Vancouver International Airport (YVR).

June 26, 2015, Orlando, FL – AirIT, the leading provider of information technology products and services to the air transportation industry, announces that the Vancouver Airport Authority will upgrade its PROPworks® airport business system platform as well as implement AirIT’s new Portal solution at Vancouver International Airport (YVR).

YVR has been an AirIT business partner for more than ten years as a power user of the company’s flagship PROPwork’s® solution. The highly configurable airport lease and revenue management platform is used by more than 60 airports and seaports worldwide, and by 4 of the 5 busiest airports in the U.S. In addition to undertaking PROPworks® infrastructure and software upgrades, YVR has selected to drastically enhance the performance of the system by adding AirIT’s latest Business System solution, PROPworks® Portal, a customer self-service enhancement that allows tenants to maintain company contact information, retrieve invoices, and enter sales and usage activities via a Web browser.

A key component of the PROPworks® enhancement project includes the integration of AirIT’s robust Business Intelligence platform. Powered by Jaspersoft, the business intelligence server seamlessly integrates with PROPworks® and the Airport Operational Database (AODB) to provide real-time analytics and decision-making capabilities. Users will be empowered to create and manage reports, on the fly, through a dynamic Web interface. AirIT will also implement AODB and ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) functionality to replace the airport’s existing ‘Flight Clean-Up System’. This change will allow the airport to more effectively track and manage flight activity and airport resource usage by commercial aircraft, increasing operational efficiency and profitability.

Comments AirIT CEO, Betros Wakim, “YVR has long been considered an airport leader in technology adoption and transforming the travel experience. By taking the opportunity to add these industry-defining features to their lease and revenue management system, they will continue to reinforce their reputation as an industry leader and set the standard for other airports.”

“AirIT has been a valued partner to YVR for many years only strengthened by our decision to upgrade our PROPworks® system,” adds Bernie Ip, Technology Services Director for the Vancouver Airport Authority. “We look forward to furthering this partnership and future developments with AirIT and the Amadeus group.”
