Manchester Airports plans to roll out a common passenger processing platform

Manchester Airport Group invites tenders for new passenger information system

Five-year deal will include provision, installation and support of a single platform

Written by Angelica Mari

Manchester Airports Group is seeking IT suppliers for work related to a common-use passenger processing system.

The five-year contract is expected to start in January 2012 and includes the provision, installation and support of the passenger information platform - there is the possibility that the contract may be extended for another two years.

According to the contract notice published by the firm, vendors will be expected to provide a common system that will see the transition from the current model of common use terminal equipment (Cute) to common use passenger processing system (Cupps).

All common and self-service check-in facilities across all four airports within the group will be covered by the project, including the provision of hardware, software, installation, maintenance, support and connectivity to all relevant airline-hosted departure control systems as well as the group’s local departure control system.

Interested parties have until 1 December to submit proposals.
