Read our clients experience of how we’ve contributed to their airports data-driven evolution.

“By using Airport Hive® Forecasting, we saved seven weeks of manual work prior to each annual budgeting process, allowing us to maximise the performance of my team, far beyond what we have been able to before. The app itself is impressive and we’re still discovering new ways to use the tools it offers to provide even more insight for various forecasting scenarios – which is essential, particularly in a post Covid-19 aviation industry.”

“The API allows new requests for data to be configured and provided extremely quickly, shaving off weeks of effort over previous mechanisms. GLA have already developed eight interfaces, delivering tailored benefits to key customers such as EasyJet, OCS and others and are already investigating the potential for other enhancements previously thought to be to be too costly to justify.”

“Azinq has supported multiple Airport IT related projects for Keflavík International Airport with great success. Everything from procurement consultation to implementation project management and project coordination. It’s hard to find consultants with as much industry knowledge and experience in Airport IT.”

“The Azinq API is scalable, highly available and built out in an ultra-modern architecture. It provides Belfast City Airport with a vendor-independent middle layer that enables rapid, secure and configurable connectivity to multiple systems, stakeholders and business partners.“

“Now, after the completion of the Airport API, operational performance of the airport has been improved through real time flight data provision. This achievement has shown a possibility of maximizing the corresponding revenues at the GLA through possible commercial agreements with third parties with which to market these open APIs.”

“Azinq get Aviation; from day 1 they have been outstanding to work with. Experts in their field, truly collaborative with the Customer’s and Industry’s best interests at heart, they have been a joy to work with. We quickly realised that we held a shared vision for the future Airport systems, and together have developed a partnership which has gone to strength to strength.
Whether it is looking at better forecasting, systems integration or technology strategy – it just works.”

“The Azinq API solution for Keflavík International Airport’s AODB has simplified the way we share flight information with external services and partners. It’s flexible, reliable and simple enough for a user with limited or no experience of general integration work or programming to use. The solution is a great way to open up traditional AODB’s to modern integration capabilities. I would highly recommend the API solution to any airport.”
Sævar GarðarssonDirector of traffic & services

“The technology underpins our business objectives of enhancing the passenger experience whilst further improving cost efficiency. With their highly talented consultants, the Azinq team are uniquely positioned to assist airports with complex project management in what is a highly specialist sector.”

“Working with Azinq and Airport Hive has ensured we have the right foundation and technology core for now and the future. It enables our operation to be more efficient and offer a better end service to our passengers.  The project with Azinq has been a collaborative and fulfilling experience.  We work as partners to get the best outcome.

The project was delivered in a short timescale and the transition was delivered seamlessly thanks to the great preparation from the Liverpool John Lennon Airport Team and Azinq.”

Airport Hive

There are two elements to the Airport Hive, powerful, flexible APIs and integrations that underpin a suite of airport technology products.

The main purpose of the Airport Hive is to decouple airport systems through API-led connectivity underpinned by containerized microservices (business logic, data transformation etc.) with data caching and RESTful APIs. This enables the airport to innovate rapidly by utilising data from core systems via the microservices which in turn become reusable business assets.

Airport Hive spans the airport information domains (flights, passenger, baggage etc.). Each platform component is aligned to aviation industry standards, where applicable, with security built in at source. We tokenize all API requests, encrypt based on data classification, throttling with API gateways and ensure auditing and logging of all data exchanges.

We have experience of processing messages such as ADEXP, ICAO 4444, FIXM, Score, Asterix, IATA Type B, AIDX and SSIM. We deliver the information in various encodings (XML, JSON, CSV etc.) and protocols (HTTP, TCP/IP, FTP, AMQP, MQTT, Stomp etc.). We ensure our integrations align, where feasible, to industry recommended best practices such as ACI ACRIS, Airport Data Dictionary and IATA AIDM.

Airport Hive also provides an opportunity for airports to exchange mutually beneficial data with airport stakeholders through securely encrypted methods.

Airport Hive delivers an extensive range of products for airports covering planning, operations, finance, management and Integrations. Airport Hive products cover – Airport Operational Data Base (AODB), Flight Information Display System (FIDS), Airport API, Forecasting, Flight Schedule Management, Airline Message Processor, Electronic Flight Strip Processor, Data Management, Airport Hive Mobile as well as many more functions.
