Manchester Airport is the UK's third largest airport offering direct flights to over 200 destinations worldwide by more than 100 airlines and 300 tour operators. The airport currently handles 21 million passengers a year, but with passenger numbers expected to rise to 42 million by 2015, managing the flow of passengers travelling in and out of its three terminals is vital to its efficient operation.

Following an extensive competitive tender, covering 25 companies, Manchester Airport awarded Fujitsu the contract to design and develop an interactive, user-centric passenger information system that could be integrated with Manchester Airport's existing transport systems.

Jo Boyle, Product Development Specialist, Manchester Airport says, “You expect a company like Fujitsu to demonstrate solid technical know how, but of all the companies that we looked at, Fujitsu was by far the most imaginative in its approach. It was clear that they were excited about the project and had the creativity to bring our ideas to life.”
