Schiphol Airport: Service-Oriented Application Infrastructure Enhances Flexibility, Efficiency, and Satisfaction at One of Europe's Most Important Airport Hubs

Overview Information is the lifeblood of an airport. At Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport, up to 20,000 airport staff and 38 external companies-ranging from aircraft catering to customs-rely on the airport information system to keep abreast of details associated with every flight. When the time came to replace its 17-year old system, Schiphol Airport standardized on BEA WebLogic Server. The new system processes more than two million transactions every day, and feeds flight information to 2,500 screens located around the airport. It offers greater flexibility, increase efficiency, and enhanced satisfaction-for users and passengers.
