Passenger experience remains number one priority<\/em><\/p>\n
The rate of investment in IT at airports around the world is rising \u2013 the latest figures from SITA estimate it will hit US$8.7 billion in 2015. This forecast is a climb from 5.82% of revenues in 2014 to 6.25% this year. Airport Chief Information Officers (CIOs) are also predicting even higher budgets for 2016 with 64% expecting an increase over this year.<\/p>\n
The annual Airport IT Trends Survey, co-sponsored by Airports Council International (ACI) and SITA, in association with Airline Business, is the most extensive study of IT trends within the global airport industry. The 2015 results came from respondents who collectively represent the views of more than 223 airports. They show the priority for improving the passenger experience as rising numbers put greater pressure on airport capacity and infrastructure.<\/p>\n
