Synectics wins another major aviation client

Champagne corks were no doubt popping at the Synectics offices on Thursday, as it revealed another major aviation client had signed up to its Synergy 3 security command and control platform.

The AIM-traded surveillance and security technology firm confirmed the deal with one of the world's top ten passenger airlines in a statement to the market.

While Synectics would not be drawn on which airline it was, it did describe the airline as having an "impressive and growing" global presence in a statement, revealing it had a central Asia Pacific hub.

Synectics said the Synergy 3 product chosen by the airline would allow it to integrate, monitor and manage data from many security and safety sub-systems through a dedicated security centre equipped with the product.

"In 2015, our enterprise platform Synergy 3 was selected as the airport safety and security solution for Terminal 3 Ultimate at Jakarta's Soekamo-Hatta International Airport", said Synectics chief executive Paul Webb.

"To secure another major aviation contract within the ASEAN region is an excellent achievement and demonstrates our credibility and the reust that the aviation industry and major airlines have in our scalable, resilient, integrated security management solutions", he added.

At 1145 GMT, shares in Synectics were up 5.09%, trading at 134.25p.
