SITA, in partnership with NTO, AECOM Tishman Construction, Schneider Electric and Faith Group, announced a new pre-production technology center at the New Terminal One (NTO) at John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK) where technology can be evaluated before being deployed in the airport.
SITA officials said the new pre-production center will ensure the new terminal opens with all systems tested and ready to use. The new JFK Terminal One Pre-Production Center will test critical systems such as biometric passenger touchpoints, baggage systems, and airport management systems.
“Having supported the opening of new airports in the U.S. and around the world, we understand that airports are highly integrated environments with dozens of stakeholders and systems that need to work seamlessly together,” said Matthys Serfontein, SITA president of Americas. “With the new pre-production center, we can put each system through its paces before it is deployed in the new terminal, supporting a timely and flawless opening.”
