Thursday, June 20, 2024 SITA , a leader in air transport technology, has boldly entered the operations-as-a-service market by acquiring ASISTIM, a company well-known for its expertise in airline flight operations. This strategic move highlights SITA’s relentless pursuit of innovative solutions to help airlines navigate challenges and enhance the travel experience for everyone. With this acquisition, SITA strengthens its position as a premier partner for airlines seeking comprehensive solutions, regardless of their size or passenger volume.
As the air travel landscape evolves, airlines grapple with issues like staff shortages, escalating costs, and shifting demands. SITA’s acquisition of ASISTIM directly addresses these challenges by offering centralized Operations Control Center (OCC) services that support multiple clients simultaneously. Furthermore, SITA now operates its own OCC, allowing it to fine-tune and enhance its technological solutions.
The integration of ASISTIM’s operational expertise with SITA’s advanced OCC software, IT solutions, and global reach will enable more airlines to outsource critical operations. This service alleviates the burden of recruiting, training, and retaining OCC staff, ensuring airlines can operate at peak efficiency. SITA democratizes access to high-quality technology, robust processes, and seasoned personnel, typically accessible only to large operators.
This partnership empowers airlines of all sizes to improve their operational e.
