 SITA has signed a seven-year contract to 
			  implement and maintain a global hybrid network solution for Syrian 
			  Arab Airlines in a major upgrade. Syrian Arab Airlines flies to 40 
			  destinations and is now introducing one regional gateway to manage 
			  47 IP connections in its offices worldwide. The project will bring 
			  significant cost savings and the higher bandwidth will allow use 
			  of more airline applications. Ghaida Abdullatif, 
			  Syrian Arab Airlines CEO, said, “This migration from legacy 
			  connections worldwide is best enabled by a single network provider 
			  such as SITA. The ultimate beneficiaries will be our passengers as 
			  we improve the quality of our services.” In 
			  addition, the new project will provide the airline’s passengers 
			  and staff with secure mobility access to their corporate 
			  applications via Wi-fi, DSL or GPRS over SITA’s network, the 
			  largest private network in the world. Project management will also 
			  be provided by SITA.
