Airplan S.A., a private airport management company overseeing operations at six airports in Colombia, has signed a multi-year contract to renew and expand the use of Rockwell Collins’ ARINC airport solutions.

Since 2010, Rockwell Collins has provided services to Airplan airports including José María Córdova, Rionegro (MDE), Olaya Herrera, Medellín (EOH), Los Garzones, Montería (MTR), Antonio Roldán Betancur, Carepa (APO), El Caraño Quibdó (UIB) and Las Brujas, Corozal (CZU).

MDE and EOH are using ARINC vMUSE™ common use check-in and ARINC SelfServ™ common use kiosks to improve the passenger experience while reducing costs. The ARINC solutions enable the airports to support multiple carriers without requiring additional investments in infrastructure.
