SITA, a global leader in air transport technology, has completed its strategic acquisition of CCM, a renowned Milan-based expert in airport interior design. This acquisition aims to overhaul the traditional airport model by integrating advanced technology with high-end design, creating smarter and more efficient airports. SITA's CEO, David Lavorel, emphasized reimagining airports to optimize passenger flow and maximize space efficiency. With CCM's extensive experience in designing elegant and functional airport spaces, SITA aims to deliver airports that not only enhance passenger experience but also adapt to evolving industry needs. Sergio Colella, President of SITA Europe, highlighted the importance of technology and design working in tandem to meet future travel demands. This acquisition builds upon SITA's existing technological portfolio, contributing to more intelligent airport environments. Monica Oberti, newly appointed interim CEO of CCM, noted that the collaboration with SITA allows airports to balance efficiency with passenger experience more effectively.
