Lincoln Airport, Nebraska moves to cloud-based technology

Cloud-based airport operations platform will support ongoing terminal expansion work at LNK, which is due to be completed by February 2023. LNK serves over 100,000 passengers per year. 

A combination of Flight Information Display Systems (FIDS), Gate Management Systems (GMS) and Common-Use Passenger Processing Systems (CUPPS) is in the process of being deployed to LNK. The AI-driven GMS will prove particularly valuable in supporting the management of the airport’s commercial aprons to enhance operational efficiency.

The solutions are being implemented to support the expansion of operations at LNK to accommodate six gates.

Supporting this period of growth, the solutions will ensure the smooth running of airport operations through the optimisation of staff and airport resources. The 100% cloud native software platform is expected to transform the airport experience for the airlines and passengers which use Lincoln airport. 

Chad Lay, Director of Planning and Development at LNK, said: “We look forward to transforming our airport operations. As we see our footfall picking up post-Covid, we want to provide the best service to our airlines and passengers… cloud-based technology systems will facilitate the seamless augmentation of our capabilities and enable us to accommodate future changes in demand requirements easily.”
