SITA: Global aviation IT group announces takeover of airport interior design company

Global aviation industry-owned information, communications and related technologies group SITA (not to be confused with South Africa's State IT Agency) has announced the conclusion of its take-over of Italian airport interiors company CCM. The latter specialised in the design, creation and production of airport interiors and, over a period of 35 years, had worked on more than 300 airports around the world. "This isn't just about expanding airports," explained SITA CEO David Lavorel. "It's about re-imaging them. With CCM's deep design and execution expertise, we're transforming airports to maximise their existing footprint, optimise passenger flow, and create smarter, more flexible and valuable airport terminal environments that evolve with the changing needs of the industry."
