Avinor, the operator of 43 airports and manager of the airspace over Norway, has appointed European IT company Netcompany as its exclusive strategic digitalization partner for the next three years with the option of two extensions of two each years chosen. This partnership, which initially exists for three years with the option of two extensions of two years each, has a contract value of up to NOK 1.2 billion (approx. EUR 107 million; as of January 15, 2023). The aim is to digitally transform and improve Norwegian airspace and the extensive network of civil airports in Norway.
Focus on innovation and technological advances
The aviation industry is currently experiencing profound change and is facing significant technological changes. Avinor places great emphasis on innovation and the use of new technologies, with the clear aim of using resources efficiently to ensure a stable, secure and future-oriented infrastructure for Norway.
By partnering with Netcompany, Avinor will increase its focus on innovation and adoption of advanced technology to increase value creation, improve customer experience and optimize operations for passengers and airlines.
Comprehensive and committed partnership
The partnership between Avinor and Netcompany covers the entire network of 43 airports and the management of Norwegian airspace. As a strategic partner, Netcompany will play a key role in the implementation and further development of Avinor’s technology strategy.
Netcompany was selected after an extensive public tender process due to its strong expertise in all technology areas and its clear value proposition with a strong willingness to innovate. In addition, Netcompany’s broad experience in aviation was crucial for Avinor.
Netcompany will become the digital backbone of Scandinavian aviation
The new contract will make Netcompany the digital backbone of Scandinavian aviation – from serving passengers to building an intelligent network of airports. Through its co-ownership of Smarter Airports, Netcompany already operates the digital infrastructure at Copenhagen Airport with the specially developed AIRHART platform.
“Our strategic partnership with Avinor underlines our commitment to digitizing and building modern, data and AI-driven airports, ultimately benefiting the climate, the environment, passengers and airlines. Avinor is one of the world’s most diverse and exciting operators and Together we have great ambitions to further modernize the entire aviation sector,” says André Rogaczewski, CEO of Netcompany.
As a strategic partner, Netcompany will contribute to the design and implementation of Avinor’s digitalization ambitions, which cover large-scale operational processes related to passengers, baggage, aircraft and airspace control, as well as key commercial activities that are crucial to the efficient and profitable operation of an airport.
“Netcompany has already demonstrated its ability to innovate the aviation industry by leveraging its experience in financial services, retail, logistics and the public sector. At Avinor, we firmly believe that cross-industry knowledge drives innovation and helps identify best practices and avoid pitfalls,” says Abraham Foss, CEO of Avinor.
