Lima Airport Partners (LAP), the operating company of the Jorge Chávez International Airporthas awarded AERTEC Solutions the contract for the supervision, coordination and validation of the implementation of the new Airport Information System (AIS). The AIS is part of the CORE ICT systems that will provide a central information and management hub for the airport, with the aim of automate and integrate all operational processes and systems. One of the key features of AIS is to better manage the allocation of airport resources to provide a better service to the airport's various partners. The implementation of an AIS directly improves airport operations, optimising resource allocation, passenger flows, and coordination between the various airport partners.
The AIS project represents a change in the way Lima Airport operates in the short and medium term, improving the efficiency of its information systems.
AERTEC Solutions, an international engineering and consultancy firm specialising in aeronautics, along with the British consultancy McCor, which specialises in airport ICT systems, will assume project management and technical assurance, giving airport systems architecture design support, its hardware and software aspects; it will also oversee the installation and perform integration testing, along with the review of technical transition procedures.
The AIS project is part of the modernisation and expansion process of Jorge Chávez International Airport, and it is of vital importance to LAP as it implies a change in the way we operate in the short and medium term. Thanks to the information exchange that AIS will provide, smoother operations will be possible, improving the passenger experience, operational efficiency and airport profitability.
This is not the first time that AERTEC Solutions has worked at Lima airport. Back in 2015, it designed the airfield extension, which included a second runway parallel to the current one, the parking apron of the new terminal building and the taxiway network to interconnect these infrastructures with the existing ones. The consultancy specialising in aeronautics was also responsible for the design of all the associated aeronautical systems, including the visual aids for the runway and taxiways, the lighting, fuel supply and apron docking guidance systems, and the power supply system required for these facilities.
This new contract reinforces the AERTEC Solutions' positioning in Latin America, where it has diverse airport engineering and consulting projects in countries such as Colombia, Panama, Brazil and Chile, in addition to Peru. This new contract reinforces AERTEC's role as a benchmark for aeronautical consulting in the region, with active projects in Peru, Colombia, Panama, Brazil and Chile.
