World Cup build-up

SITA, the aviation IT and communications specialist, has signed a five-year contract to provide the equipment and infrastructure for both agent check-in and passenger self-service kiosk check-in for the Airports Company South Africa (ACSA), which operates ten of the country’s airports and handles 98% of South Africa’s commercial air traffic.  The $35m programme will immediately benefit the three international airports in Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg, and the local airport in Port Elizabeth.  South Africa is preparing to receive an estimated half a million visitors for the FIFA 2010 World Cup including England who last week secured a place in the tournament. www.sita.aero
