SITA has agreed to acquire Collins Aerospace Airport Solutions for an undisclosed amount.
Collins Aerospace Airport Solutions is the airport IT unit of Collins Aerospace, which is owned by U.S. aerospace and defense company RTX. The unit provides self-service check-in and bag drop, biometric identity management and passenger verification, as well as baggage-tracking technology and airport operations solutions.
The deal is expected to close in the first half of 2027 and is subject to customer closing conditions including regulatory approvals.
SITA said the addition strengthens its ability to provide “more seamless and resilient operations.”
"Ask an airport what it wants from a technology provider, and the answer is a trusted partner," said Nathalie Altwegg, SVP of airports at SITA.
"That means understanding its environment, working closely with its teams and being there when support is needed. This acquisition will strengthen our ability to do that for more customers across the industry.”
In June, SITA also acquired airline disruption technology company Big Blue Analytics, which provides an artificial intelligence-enabled disruption management platform for airline operations. The terms of the teal were not disclosed.
In July 2025, Safran completed its $1.8 billion acquisition of Collins Aerospace's flight control and actuation business from RTX.
