Gulf Air and SITA have signed an agreement that will allow Gulf Air to use SITA’s network services to optimize its operations across 48 destinations where it operates.
The agreement, announced in Manama, includes the provision of all private network, internet, voice, messaging and reporting services for Gulf Air. SITA will provide a variety of connectivity methods to the airline’s offices at airports in more than 20 countries across four continents. These will range from private MPLS-based connections to public internet connections and will include connectivity to Gulf Air’s air transport industry partners, a unique feature of SITA’s network which is embedded throughout its servicenet architecture. Through this optimization the airline expects cost savings of up to 22% in IP related services at airports worldwide.
