The technology, BEONTRA B Route Development, is part of Lockheed Martin's suite of aviation technology solutions, and will allow BAC to calculate, analyse and present high-quality route cases to airlines, while being able to re-calculate and amend on-demand.
B Route Development allows airports to develop and build route cases using data from Sabre MIDT*, OAG schedule data** as well as airport survey and statistical information. Through an intuitive, step-driven process, route cases are delivered in an interactive, graphical format that can be used for improved analysis and collaboration.
Mohamed Yousif AlBinfalah, CEO Bahrain Airport Company commented: "We look forward to a very successful partnership with Lockheed Martin as we are embarking on a pioneering and ambitious journey to modernise Bahrain International Airport and ourselves as the airport operator."
"I believe that it is through strategic partnerships such as the one we are about to start and the industry knowledge that it brings to explore the possibilities for BAC, we can succeed in fulfilling our vision of being a friendly and efficient airport. I am also confident of the support that Lockheed Martin will provide."
As the primary hub for Gulf Air, Bahrain International Airport also is a major airport for transit traffic from Europe to the Middle East as well as Asia. It served over 7.3 million passengers in 2013, having started out with only 24 passengers on its first scheduled flight in 1934.
*According to Sabre, Marketing Information Data Transfer (MIDT) comprises traffic data such as booking transactions from global distribution systems produced by subscribers around the world. Users analyse elements such as booking class, origin and destination to identify trends and opportunities.
**OAG's databases provide flight scheduling, flight status and other aviation data.
