National Airport Services and Ground Handling Agent (NASHA) of Somaliland recently signed a long-term deal to use the advanced Departure Control System (DCS) developed by JKCS. This system is named Evinta.DCS.
With this ground-breaking deal, Evinta.DCS now process the flight check-in and boarding functions of three African airlines landing at Hergeisa Airport (HGA). They are Daallo Airlines, Jubba Airways and East African Safari Express.
“Our experience has been really good and it was a long awaited improvement at Hergeisa Airport. Both passengers and our staff are excited to have an automated passenger check-in system at HGA and now we are looking forward to replicate the same success at other airports where our airlines are operating. I am particularly happy to experience the JKCS support service which has been very good especially during initial phase of implementation and I am glad we selected Evinta as our DCS,” said Manager Commercial of NASHA Zahid Hussain.
Sri Lankan-based aviation software specialist, JKCS, is the software subsidiary of John Keells Holdings. JKCS has been providing cutting-edge IT solutions to airlines and airports around the world for over a decade. Evinta.DCS which is fully owned by JKCS is currently running at several international and secondary airports in the Middle East and Africa region.
Daallo, Jubba and East African Safari carry a large volume of passengers across regional Africa. Owing to mounting costs and inefficiencies due to legacy systems and manual operations, their ground handling agent NASHA faced many challenges in serving these carriers. Hence NASHA decided to completely switch over to Evinta.DCS which is fully web based and offers complete automation of airport services.
Evinta.DCS is a cloud based Departure Control System. This means that data on Evinta.DCS is mobile, transferable, and instantly accessible through the Internet. It completely avoids connecting with expensive airport legacy systems. This generates major cost savings for airports, airlines and ground handling agents.
Additionally, Evinta.DCS is extremely user friendly and efficient. Modern airlines face the problem of handling longer and longer queues at airports during peak check-in times. Evinta.DCS is able to reduce passenger check-in time to just 3 seconds.
JKCS is an established player in the aviation IT sphere. The company serves many of the world’s flagship carriers by providing leading next-generation solutions. JKCS’ aviation suite “Evinta” includes the Evinta.DCS, Evinta.IBE (a multi-channel Internet Booking Engine), Evinta Weight & Balance and Evinta Loyalty Program.
The Evinta aviation suite is completely cloud-based and has been developed to significantly enhance passenger experience. It provides an effective tool–set to airlines and airports operating in a highly competitive industry.
To ease the training requirements and increase intuitive learning, Evinta products come with attractive graphic based screens. The Evinta suite has also enabled JKCS customers to reduce cost by 35% in total. The Evinta.DCS solution provided to NASHA complies with IATA set standards to enable seamless connectivity with other airlines and airports across the world.
