Airlines today face the dual challenge of rising passenger volumes and increasingly complex digital operations. Legacy networks are stretched thin, making it harder to keep global outstations connected, secure, and resilient. To overcome these pressures, Qatar Airways, one of the world’s leading airlines, has rolled out SITA’s next-generation Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) technology across its international outstations. The agreement marks the first large-scale SD-WAN deployment for a major global airline by SITA.
