Christchurch International Airport, the second largest airport in New Zealand, has brought in Amadeus to upgrade its passenger service infrastructure with the use of more efficient, flexible and sustainable Common Use technology shared by multiple airlines.
The new system allows multiple airlines a simpler check-in process, more flexibility for seasonal operations, and to connect with passengers at locations away from the airport, such as the Christchurch convention centre Te Pae, or Lyttelton Port, during the cruise season. Doing so means the airport can unlock capacity ahead of demand from its airline partners.
An Amadeus airport systems upgrade will benefit Christchurch International Airport’s airline partners and passengers
Swifter check-in processes for both airlines and passengers also mean more time for travellers to relax before boarding.
The airport will work with Amadeus to enable future transition to more self-service kiosks and bag drops for all airlines and passengers.
With this upgrade, the airport will decommission 80 energy-intensive workstations and replace them with super-efficient thin client devices. Thin-client devices are simple, low-power, computers that provide an interface to the cloud, where computing tasks are undertaken by more efficient servers*.
Craig Dunstan, head of customer & commercial, Christchurch Airport, said: “We are especially pleased to have this first upgrade in place ahead of our upcoming very busy summer season. We will see all our international airlines return, some with larger aircraft and more flights, as well as a new direct service between Christchurch and San Francisco. The transition to the Amadeus Cloud Use Service is another exciting step forward in embracing new technology to enable a more streamlined and frictionless journey for our passengers.”
