This secure, cost-effective, and robust networking solution also minimizes network downtime and interruptions. It supports the aviation industry's connectivity requirements for check-in, ticketing, baggage handling, fueling, gate management, flight information display systems (FIDS), ground handling operations, and many other applications in the airport environment.

Other Asia Pacific carriers using the AviNet Airport service include Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific Airways, Air China, Xiamen Airlines, Shenzhen Airlines Air Macau, Dragonair, All Nippon Airways, Korean Air, EVA Airways, Jin Air, and Philippine Airlines.
