YDA Dalaman Airport in Türkiye has reached a milestone in the digital transformation of its operations, implementing a single real-time management platform in partnership with SITA.
The platform offers complete visibility over the airport’s infrastructure, minimising that disruptions can become more complex to manage as demand increases. Gate availability, check-in flow and aircraft turnaround times are all part of this and SITA says that by integrating its core operational systems onto one coordinated platform, YDA Dalaman now works from a shared operational picture across flights, stands, gates, check-in counters and baggage resources.
Yiğit Laçin, CEO of YDA Dalaman Airport, said: “As traffic continues to grow in Dalaman region, scaling operations without adding complexity is critical. Working with SITA has allowed us to bring our operational systems together into one coordinated environment. Our teams now work from the same live data, allowing for faster decisions and more efficient use of airport infrastructure during high-demand periods. As YDA Dalaman Airport, we will continue to prioritize digitalization as part of our commitment to delivering the best-possible service quality.”
Selim Bouri, President Middle East, Africa, and Türkiye at SITA, said: “Airports in tourism markets often experience sharp and concentrated demand, making coordination critical. When data is fragmented, inefficiencies increase and performance becomes harder to maintain. By bringing its operations into a single, real-time environment, YDA Dalaman Airport is able to make faster decisions and use its infrastructure more efficiently, helping to maintain consistent service levels for both passengers and airlines.”
