In this episode, I sit down with Selim Bouri, President, Middle East, Africa and Turkiye at SITA to interpret the findings of a recent SITA survey focused on air transport IT. Selim shares his insights on the below questions: Has momentum towards digitalization and IT investment in African airports broadly continued post-Covid? Why was passenger processing identified as the most important factor in the report? What solutions can African airports focus on in 2025 that ensure the highest return for the lowest investment and the shortest implementation time? How can Artificial Intelligence support airports and what specific solutions are already available to African airports? How can technology investment support sustainability targets and initiatives? You can meet the SITA team at AviaDev Africa in June Follow/ Connect with Selim on LinkedIn Download the IT insights report here SITA is the World's leading specialist in air transport communications and information technology.
