History

AiS launched a fully web based version of its flight assignment system in 2005 and delivered it to several Swedish airports. In 2006 it supplied a ground handler at Copenhagen Kastrup, and in 2009 it added support for de-icing at Stockholm Arlanda. Work on a new generation of the system started in 2021.
