Steria, a European leader in the deployment of transport IT systems, has been chosen to deploy a large-scale taxi management system for Aéroports de Lyon.

The new system, to be delivered in partnership with IES, Representative and FTPC, aims to reduce passengers' taxi wait times significantly and give the Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport means to monitor and manage taxis much more efficiently. The airport, which caters for up to seven million passengers annually, hopes the system to play an integral part in ensuring well managed and regular taxi services for customers.

This new contract follows similar systems rolled out at the Paris Charles de Gaulle and London Heathrow airports.
