Biman Bangladesh Airlines has partnered with SITA to adopt a suite of state-of-the-art connectivity solutions designed to increase network speeds, optimise the airline’s operations, and reduce expansion costs.

SITA Connect Go is a new Secure SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) solution designed specifically for the air transport industry. It offers a software-based solution that allows multiple airlines, ground handlers, and other tenants to digitally transform at whatever pace they choose. Secure access is provided to virtualised applications and infrastructure at airports and in the cloud, delivering scalable and agile performance.

“SITA has proven itself an effective and trusted technology partner over the last half-century,” said Shafiul Azim, Managing Director & CEO, Biman Bangladesh Airlines. “Ensuring our airline’s applications and systems are optimised is critical. With SITA Connect, we can infuse our entire operation with lightning-fast and secure connections that can be adapted over time as we scale. We’re delighted about the planned growth from 21 aircraft to 45 by 2030 and look forward to ensuring smooth and reliable air travel for passengers in the coming years.”

The deployment will improve the airline’s performance by giving the IT operations team a granular view and full visibility into their network usage and application performance. This will enable better decision-making and critical business application performance. It is all managed through a centralised platform that simplifies network management and orchestration.

“We’re thrilled to commemorate a 50-year partnership with Biman Bangladesh Airlines and provide the latest cutting-edge connectivity solutions that will be the foundations for their next growth chapter,” said Sumesh Patel, President, Asia Pacific, SITA. “Connectivity is the backbone of our industry, and smart, efficient, and agile technology operations will be the defining factor for success in this next era of air transport. We’re excited to support BG in their ambitious plans and look forward to many more years of powerful collaboration.”
