What Adecs Airinfra does

Adecs Airinfra B.V. is a Dutch aviation consultancy and software vendor founded in 2000 and headquartered in Den Haag. It develops and sells the AirSystems product suite (AirLink as an AODB management system, AirMap as a common operating picture visualization platform, AirSignage for FIDS control, and AirFee for Mode-S transponder-based aircraft movement detection) primarily to regional airports internationally and to government aviation authorities. Alongside its software, the firm delivers advisory services spanning environmental impact assessments, noise load calculations, external safety, air quality, air route design, ICAO Annex 14 compliance, and sustainable airport development (in cooperation with Arcadis under ACI Europe's Airport Carbon Accreditation Programme).

The business combines self-developed IT products with project-based consultancy, engaging clients through direct sales with custom development and multi-year engagements. Its go-to-market targets price-sensitive regional airports that are typically underserved by large airport IT vendors, while leveraging partnerships with MovingDot (ATM), Aerogeopro (Turkey), AviaVox (voice systems), NDS (digital signage), and Ixion Design to extend delivery capacity. Industry positioning is reinforced by membership in ACI World Business Partner and the Netherlands Aerospace Group.

Revenue mechanics blend one-time software licensing, professional services fees, and an emerging recurring/subscription posture around IT solutions for regional airports; however, no revenue, headcount, or funding figures are publicly disclosed, and the company remains privately held under founder/management ownership. The leadership team is led by Managing Director Peter Frankena and CTO Andy van Helden.

Broad incumbents

• Amadeus: Global travel technology incumbent that, through its Airport IT line (formerly UFIS Airport Solutions), provides AODB, resource management and operations software to airports. Broader portfolio than Adecs but overlapping AODB and FIDS-adjacent products.
• Collins Aerospace: Through its Airport Systems business (incorporating the legacy ARINC airport IT portfolio), provides AODB, FIDS and operational software to airports globally. A broad incumbent competitor for Adecs' AirLink and AirSignage products.
• Indra: Spanish IT and defence group whose Mobility division provides AODB, FIDS, A-CDM and airport operations platforms. Competes with Adecs on the IT side and has substantially larger scale and broader geographic footprint.

Direct peers

• Royal HaskoningDHV: Dutch engineering and consultancy firm with a dedicated aviation practice covering airport masterplanning, environmental impact and operational advisory. Directly comparable to Adecs Airinfra's consultancy line (environmental, ICAO compliance, airport development) and a fellow Netherlands-based peer.
• ADB SAFEGATE: Supplies airfield lighting, gate management, A-CDM and FIDS software to airports worldwide. Overlaps directly with Adecs Airinfra's AirSignage (FIDS control) and AirMap (operational visualisation) offerings, particularly for regional airport operators.
• Materna IPS: German arm of Materna providing passenger handling, AODB and operations software to airports and airlines. Directly overlaps with Adecs' AODB, FIDS and airport operations visualisation portfolio, particularly for the European regional airport customer base.
• SITA: Global air transport IT and communications specialist that provides AODB, FIDS, operations management and passenger processing software to airports of all sizes — the dominant incumbent in the same product categories where Adecs Airinfra competes (AirLink/AODB, AirSignage/FIDS).
• INFORM: German optimisation and operations software vendor with a dedicated Aviation division offering resource planning, AODB and ground operations software to airports. Comparable mid-sized European airport IT peer with similar focus on operational efficiency tools.
• Topsystem Systemhaus: Specialist German vendor focused on airport resource planning, AODB and operational management software for regional and mid-sized airports. Closely comparable niche positioning to Adecs Airinfra in the regional airport IT segment.
• TAV Technologies: Subsidiary of TAV Airports providing airport IT solutions including AODB, operations management and passenger systems. A direct competitor to Adecs' AirLink AODB and AirSystems suite for non-hub airports, with stronger reference base at TAV-operated airports.
