We are proud to announce that Plovdiv Airport has successfully implemented our Departure Control System (A-DCS) and Weight & Balance System (A-WBS) since June 2025.
Serving around 184,000 passengers and managing over 3,400 aircraft movements in 2023, Plovdiv Airport plays a strategic role in Bulgaria’s aviation network, particularly in handling charter flights to destinations such as the UK and Germany. In this context, improving efficiency and operational reliability is a key priority, and the adoption of A-ICE systems marks a significant step forward.
Hristo Minkov, Head of Operations Center at Plovdiv Airport, shared his feedback on the collaboration with A-ICE:
“Working with Carlos Fernandes has been a truly positive experience. From the initial inquiry to contract finalization, Carlos demonstrated a deep understanding of our operational needs and provided a solution aligned with our goals and budget. We truly appreciate his professionalism and transparent communication.
We have been using the A-ICE Departure Control System (DCS) and are extremely satisfied with its performance. The intuitive and reliable system is fully aligned with our operational needs, significantly streamlining our check-in processes and improving overall airport efficiency. The weight and balance module provides accurate and timely calculations, contributing to safe and compliant aircraft operations.”
This endorsement reflects the tangible value that A-ICE delivers: reliable technology designed to simplify daily operations, ensure compliance, and support a seamless passenger journey.
How A-DCS and A-WBS work together
-
A-DCS (Departure Control System) manages passenger check-in, baggage handling, boarding, and airline messaging. A-DCS helps airports streamline operations, reduce waiting times, and improve the passenger experience.
-
A-WBS (Weight & Balance System) uses advanced algorithms for precise weight distribution and safe aircraft loading. It ensures accurate load calculations, fuel efficiency, and full compliance with international regulations, enhancing safety and sustainability at every stage of operations.
