Preston Aviation Solutions Delivers Dynamic Gate Allocation System to Israeli Airport Authority

Preston Aviation Solutions, a Boeing wholly owned subsidiary, has successfully implemented its Gate Solutions dynamic gate allocation system at Ben Gurion International Airport, Israel's largest airport. The Israeli Airport Authority (IAA) awarded the contract to the Australian based company in late 2003.

Gate Solutions provides Ben Gurion International Airport with a powerful tool for conducting detailed planning, optimization and "what-if" analysis on its aircraft parking positions and gates. It will be used to review Ben Gurion's airport capacity in the short, medium and long term and assess the impact major developments will have on capacity.

"Preston's Gate Solutions provides a complete and cost-effective resource management system for Ben Gurion." said Yair Gannot, operations director of the IAA. "And as promised, the team at Preston has delivered a quality and robust system."

Gate Solutions went into operation when the IAA opened its new Terminal 3 on Nov. 2, 2004.

Preston develops state-of-the-art aviation software, helping customers worldwide increase efficiency, capacity and safety through integrated simulation, decision support and scheduling solutions.
