Perth Airport has announced a new partnership with DXC Technology that will see the company act as as Master Systems Integrator (MSI) for the development of its new terminal.
Forming a key milestone in the airport’s multi-billion-dollar investment to transform its infrastructure and support Western Australia’s long-term economic growth; the new terminal is scheduled to open in 2031 and bring all commercial airline operations into one central location.
This move, referred to as Perth Airport’s One Airport vision, is hoped to improve efficiency and enhance the passenger journey.
Acting as MSI for the project, DXC will be responsible for the design, integration, testing and commissioning of over 70 information technology and operational systems supporting the new terminal facilities, as well as ensuring they work together to deliver a connected, seamless passenger experience.
Robert Le Busque, President, Asia Pacific Japan at DXC Technology, said:We’re extremely proud to partner with Perth Airport on a technology transformation that will support Western Australia’s long-term economic growth.
Leveraging over 30 years of global aviation experience, DXC will bring together a complex ecosystem of technologies and providers to deliver the digital foundation required to support the airport’s vision for providing a world class travel experience.
The MSI programme encompasses a wide range of technology solutions including AI, cloud and cybersecurity across the new terminal, all of which will be utilised to enhance passenger processing systems, baggage tracking and reconciliation, advanced security screening integration, building management and automation, digital signage and wayfinding, public Wi-Fi and operational control systems.
DXC will also oversee all interoperability of systems used by key airport stakeholders, including airlines, ground handlers, retailers, and government agencies.
