The Frost Radar™ analysis serves as a dynamic tracking tool
that offers frequent rating and positioning of companies that are
leading the industry in growth, innovation, or both. Amongst the
leading players in the Asia-Pacific Airport Automation industry -
namely ADB Safegate, Collins Aerospace, Daifuku/Scarabee, Easier,
Embross, Amadeus/ICM, Materna IPS, RESA, SITA, and Vision-Box; SITA
has emerged as the leader in Growth & Innovation in the Frost

"SITA is a leader in air transport, borders and aircraft
technology solutions and a pioneer in Asia-Pacific, demonstrating a commitment to
innovation and setting standards in the global air transport
industry," said Georgia Edell,

to provide the best-fit solutions for airports and passengers. SITA
provides comprehensive and future-proof solutions that address
almost every core business of air travel, including operational,
baggage, and passenger processing to make air travel, smarter,
safer, and seamless throughout the passenger journey."
SITA's technology research arm, SITA Lab, works collaboratively
with airlines, airports, and technology leaders to develop new
technologies in emerging areas such as AI, biometrics, and
blockchain. One of SITA Lab's innovations is the concept of using
digital twins to incorporate previously disparate information into
better actionable insights for airports, automating processes
through real-time sensors and feedback gathered around the airport
for improved efficiency and safety. SITA Lab also developed a
biometric boarding system that uses facial recognition technology
for a more seamless passenger journey, commercialized in their SITA
Smart Path solution which is in trials or fully operational at
major airports globally including deployments in Miami, Beijing and Mumbai.
Sumesh Patel, SITA's President of
APAC said: "Automation is more important than ever in this COVID-19
environment to better enable social distancing and passenger flow
without compromising processing times. The SITA Smart Path
implementation in Beijing Capital International Airport is a great
example of this and marks our most comprehensive deployment of
next-generation technology to date. It also signposts growing
interest from the market to automate and optimize airport
operations through smart technology and prepare the region for
sustainable future growth. We're pleased that Frost & Sullivan
have recognized our efforts in these areas and our impact in the
APAC region."
SITA's technological prowess enables it to develop solutions for
