Having opened the doors of its modernised terminal in March 2022, Samarkand International Airport in Uzbekistan has now completed the first phase of work to digitalise its airport operations, having partnered with TAV Technologies. Air Marakanda, which operates the airport describes the move to fully digitalise the airport as providing an unprecedented level of service in the country’s aviation industry.
Gairat Neimatov, CEO of Air Marakanda said: “The new phase of work follows the recent opening of the airport’s new terminal. With its modern infrastructure, streamlined processes and technology-enabled service offering, Samarkand International Airport is a new standard for travel to Uzebekistan’s most famous historic city. We are grateful for TAV Technologies’ support with its market-leading expertise in airport management technology solutions.”
TAV Technologies’ work at the airport incorporates software and hardware solutions, which are being implemented across all levels of the airport’s business. Advanced technolgoy solutions that have been implemented and which will transform the airport experience, include: modern check-in desks and boarding gates; air stairs; passport control booths; and e-gates for departing passengers. TAV Technologies’ software solutions employ Ai-based algorithms to increase productivity and performance of these new airport resources.
The company’s Total Airport Management Suite (TAMS) will support the airport in managing land-side and air-side processes aligned with existing systems. The TAMS platform will control every step of airport operations, covering flight management, resource management, SLOT management, flight time display and ground handling management. In addition, TAV Technologies Passenger Flow Management module is designed to ease the passenger journey, while its Commercial Management module improves cost management and invoice tracking.
“We are glad to be the technology partner of Samarkand International Airport, in such a significant project that aims at full digitialisation of airport and passenger operations,” said M. Kerem Ozturk, General Manager of TAV Technologies. “The product implementations will both directly improve the passenger experience and enhance operational efficiency.”
