ORLANDO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT SELECTED TO OFFER DAILY COMMERCIAL AIR SERVICE TO CUBA
ORLANDO, FL. –The U.S. Department of Transportation has named Orlando International as one of only ten airports in the nation, four in Florida, to offer daily commercial air service to Havana,Cuba. The other Florida cities selected include Fort Lauderdale, Miami and Tampa.
"As has been proven with our charter operations to Cuba, there is demand for such a daily service from Central Florida,"says Vicki Jaramillo, Senior Director of Marketing and Air Service Development for the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority."We have seen outstanding community support and trust that it will continue with our first scheduled daily service to the island nation later this fall."
JetBlue is the airline chosen to fly from Orlando International.
While tourism is at the heart of travel to Central Florida it will not be the reason for travel to and from Cuba. Tourism is not one of the pre-approved reasons for travel between the United States and Cuba. Approved reasons include; visiting family, religious reasons, educational and orcultural exchanges.
Integration of GIS with CMMS & EAM Systems
A growing number of Airports, Warehouses, private and public utilities today are implementing Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) and Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) systems. In 2019, the CMMS software market was worth $0.92 billion. By 2027, it is expected to reach $1.77 billion, increasing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.58% during 2020-2027.
This developing interest in asset and maintenance management is driven by the multiple benefits that an EAM system and a CMMS offer in terms of prolonging the useful life of maturing infrastructure, and assets. On the other hand, a geographic information system (GIS) offers exceptional capabilities and flexible licensing for applying location-based analytics to infrastructures such as airports, roadways, and government facilities.
Both GIS and CMMS systems complement one another. For companies looking to increase the return on investment (ROI) on their maintenance efforts, integrating a GIS with a CMMS platform is an expected headway that can considerably improve the capabilities of their maintenance crew and give them the best results.
This whitepaper takes a closer look at the definitions and benefits of GIS, EAM, and CMMS. Moreover, it sheds light on some important considerations associated with the integration of GIS with an EAM system and CMMS. It also presents a powerful solution to streamline the integration process.
