ARINC Incorporated reported that three major Chinese airlines—China Southern, Hainan Airlines, and China Eastern—have signed for the company’s AviNet Airport wide-area network service. ARINC will deploy its AviNet Airport service at 14 airports in the Asia Pacific region and worldwide to support the international operations of these airlines. Some of the locations include Haneda Airport, Incheon International Airport, Vancouver International Airport, and John F Kennedy International Airport.
The AviNet Airport network solution utilizes a single IP connection to bridge the airline host systems and airport services, whether they are common-use passenger processing systems or back-office systems. This flexibility allows the airlines to support a wide range of applications, ranging from check-in and ticketing to flight information.
