SITA has agreed to acquire Flightscape, CAE Inc.’s airline operations software business, whose solutions help airlines plan flights, manage crews, control operations, coordinate ground activities and deliver in-flight services. The acquisition will help airlines make better operational decisions and coordinate recovery more effectively across the aviation ecosystem.
As aviation grows, so does the complexity of running it. By 2050, more than 10 billion people are expected to fly each year, while disruption continues to affect daily operations. Every flight depends on the different partners across the industry working together, yet each sees only part of what is happening.
“Airlines need to make the best possible use of their aircraft, crews and infrastructure while responding to increasingly complex operational challenges,” said David Lavorel, Chief Executive Officer, SITA. “With Flightscape, we will bring together our respective complementary capabilities to strengthen what we offer airlines and connect their operational decisions with insight from across the aviation ecosystem. That will help our customers anticipate disruption, recover more effectively and run more resilient operations.”
