Ink supporting passenger operations in the Arctic Circle

Partnership with Gällivare Lapland Airport to provide Ink DCS to serve airlines operations

Ink Innovation, a travel technology provider, has successfully integrated its Ink Departure Control System (DCS) at Gällivare Lapland Airport (GEV). This collaboration became operational on October 27, enhancing the efficiency of Amapola Flyg’s passenger operations. Leveraging Ink DCS’s cloud-based technology ensures not only swift implementation but also robust, scalable solutions adaptable to evolving airport needs. In places like the Arctic Circle, efficient travel operations transcend mere convenience; they serve as vital lifelines linking remote communities to major urban centres.

“We opted for Ink after Amapola introduced us to the solutions of Ink Innovation, as we required a system to purchase. Previously, we had experience with airlines that utilised DCS of another vendor. However, Ink DCS is more affordable for us, and we’ve got the system in place quickly,” said Annika Edlund, Traffic manager at Gällivare Flygplats.

“Ink’s mission has consistently been to reinvent the way we travel, with a central emphasis on connecting journeys through technology. The integration at Gällivare Lapland Airport is yet another step towards realising our vision,” said Janet Richards, Chief Commercial Officer, Ink.

Gällivare Lapland Airport was originally a military airfield. The first landing for regular civil traffic took place on April 18, 1971. The new station building was completed in 1994. Lapland Airport is located only 10 minutes’ drive outside the Gällivare urban area.
