Unisys Corporation (NYSE:UIS) has said that its Belgian subsidiary has expanded its relationship with The Brussels Airport Company through a new five-year IT outsourcing contract.

Unisys Belgium will reportedly replace and manage the common infrastructure used by more than 80 airlines to issue tickets, route baggage and generate boarding passes at Brussels Airport.

Unisys Belgium is to upgrade the airport's Common Use Terminal Equipment (CUTE), the technology infrastructure that provides a single interface into passenger and baggage information throughout the airport. Through CUTE, airline passenger service representatives have the ability to check and secure baggage, issue claim checks and handle seat assignments for multiple airlines. The common infrastructure also enhances secure business operations by providing centralised access to baggage-handling information, Unisys said.

No financial details have been disclosed.
