At the heart of every Airport Operational System landscape lies the crucial ability to seamlessly integrate with both upstream and downstream systems. This entails collecting data from a myriad of systems, employing diverse protocols and formats. Equally significant is the robust distribution capability, ensuring the dissemination of plans and real-time operational data to various aviation stakeholder systems.

In line with these critical requirements, IBS has engineered a proprietary integration mechanism tailored specifically for airports. Unlike generic integration platforms prevalent in the industry, our approach prioritizes the unique business requirements of airports. Noteworthy features of IBS' Airport Orchestration Engine (AOE) include:

• Support for processing and generation of aviation standard messages like IATA TYPE B and AIDX
• Microservice based opensource architecture and containerised deployment for platform independence
• Supports data transformation, protocol translation, message routing, event handling, authentication and authorisation using configuration
• Ensuring no single point of failure, critical airport interfaces operate independently, bolstering system resilience and reliability
