SITA, the Geneva, Switzerland-based global information technology company, announced on Aug. 17 that its airline passenger check-in and board processes have been certified by the International Air Transport Association.
The North American headquarters of the company is located in Atlanta.
According to a SITA press release, the company is the first platform provider to receive the compliance certification from the association and to successfully complete its “common use passenger processing system.”
