Virgin Atlantic gains a "network guardian"

SITA, the airlines' IT supplier owned by its members, has been appointed by Virgin Atlantic to what it calls its “Network Guardian” with primary responsibility for all voice and data IT services.  Virgin says it will result in a significant reduction in network communication costs.  The five-year, multi-million dollar partnership covers in excess of 100 sites worldwide.  Previously Virgin required approximately 40 suppliers.  The service has commenced and full transition to SITA as the single supplier will be completed by summer 2010.  SITA is also the owner of OnAir, a leading provider of in-flight connectivity, and CHAMP Cargosystems, the world's only IT company dedicated solely to air cargo. www.virgin-atlantic.com www.sita.aero
