UFIS Airport Solutions completes porting its system at Hanover Airport to AIX
The Universal Flight Information System now supports another operating system. AirITSystems Hannover GmbH asked UFIS Airport Solutions to port their system in Hanover Airport, Germany, to AIX so that it would meet their new company policy to use AIX-based systems. After a short parallel operation phase, UFIS® running under AIX was successfully cut over in February 2006.
UFIS Airport Solutions adds 360° display to its Flight Information Display System portfolio
As an addition to its information display capabilities UFIS Airport Solutions GmbH of Heusenstamm, Germany, has signed an agreement with Kinoton GmbH of Munich to market its Litefast 360° display in airports worldwide. The 360 degrees means that there is an area of approximately 250 by 66,5 cm² for information display on a footprint less than conventional LCD boards. Furthermore, it provides additional space above and below the display for fixed information or advertising, a feature not available using other display media.
UFIS® is ready for the A380
UFIS Airport Solutions' Universal Flight Information System (UFIS®) in operation with Singapore Airport Terminal Services (SATS), the main ground handler at Changi Airport, is "A380-ready". For the arrival at Singapore's Changi Airport of the Airbus A380 on its tour of the Far East, not only did the necessary handling infrastructure need to be in place, but the IT system used in airport operation also needed to be ready. The SATS operators entered new rules for the aircraft type into the handling system prior to its arrival. This enabled SATS to assign the necessary staff and equipment to handle the aircraft.
