Aviation and airports
YAVA builds, integrates and supports the revenue, operational and security systems airports run on, where downtime is measured in flights and revenue leaks quickly if systems do not agree.
Civil aviation authorities, airport operators, ground handling, cargo and maintenance organisations.
The environment
What this setting is like.
An airport is many operators sharing one site: the authority, the operator, airlines, ground handlers, cargo, security and government agencies. Their systems were rarely designed to work together, yet revenue, safety and security all depend on them agreeing.
Aviation is high-consequence and heavily regulated. We assess and integrate security systems, separate operational and business networks, and design for availability first.
Operational and technical challenges
Where it goes wrong.
- Revenue, operational and security systems that do not talk to each other
- Revenue leakage where billing and reconciliation are manual or fragmented
- Airside and landside networks that must be reliable and separated
- 24 hour operations that cannot stop for maintenance
Systems we work on
What YAVA can assess, design, integrate, build or support.
The mix depends on the asset. YAVA is an integrator, not a single-product vendor, and selects equipment against the requirement from a vetted supplier network.
- Revenue management and reconciliation
- Operational and resource systems
- Security, surveillance and access integration
- Airside and landside networks
- Passenger and cargo systems integration
- Control room and command environment
- 24 hour operational support
Relevant capabilities
What we bring to this sector.
How YAVA delivers
Delivery.
We build and deploy systems, integrate them with what is already in place, and support them around the clock. Field engineers work around live operations rather than stopping them.
Advice, build, integration, deployment and support come from one team, so there is a single point of accountability for the whole environment.
Applicable experience

FAQ
Common questions.
Can you work around live airport operations?
Yes. Our field engineers deploy and commission systems around 24 hour operations, with changes planned to avoid disruption.
Do you cover revenue as well as security systems?
Yes. We build revenue and reconciliation systems, integrate operational and security systems, and support them together.
Can your engineers reach remote and high-risk sites?
Yes. A significant part of our field team is used to working at remote and difficult sites in demanding conditions with limited support.
Do you work around live operations?
Yes. We plan and deploy around live operations so that services and throughput continue while work is carried out.
Who supports the systems once they are live?
The team that delivers the work also supports it, with service levels including out-of-hours cover agreed in advance.
Can you work within our compliance and procurement rules?
Yes. We deliver inside existing frameworks and under the applicable compliance, data and, where relevant, export-control requirements.
