SITA merges business divisions
SITA reported total revenue of USD1.55 billion for 2005, and plans to merge its two main businesses into a single entity in July 2006. The strongest growth was achieved by SITA INC, the applications service business, boosted by outsourcing contracts such as the USD200 million 10-year deal with Dusseldorf Airport. SITA INC revenue grew 13 per cent to USD726, while SITA SC, the communications arm, achieved USD828 million. Falling prices in this sector means the total is less than 2004.
