Revamping Passenger Interaction and Operations:
Progility is set to implement a comprehensive suite of advanced solutions designed to optimize airport communication systems:

2. Centralized Content Management System (CMS): This innovative system will enable CIAL to centrally manage and distribute real-time content across all digital platforms, ensuring passengers are informed about flight schedules, wait times at security checkpoints, local amenities, and important emergency notifications. The CMS will streamline communication, improving both operational coordination and passenger convenience.
