SITA has acquired Big Blue Analytics, developer of the OCC Assistant Manager (OCCam) operational disruption optimisation platform, in a deal announced on 1 June 2026. The move brings an in-service, AI-enabled decision-support tool into SITA’s portfolio for airline operations control centres, targeting reductions in disruption-related costs of up to 30 percent for users of the system.
OCCam is deployed in airline operations to support real-time management of irregular operations, including flight cancellations, delays, rebookings and associated resource allocation. The platform uses artificial intelligence and advanced analytics to propose optimised solutions for schedules, crews, aircraft and passengers during IROPS events.
SITA plans to leverage its global airline and airport customer base to scale adoption of the technology and reinforce its “day of operations” offering. The acquisition aligns with SITA’s broader strategy to embed data and AI across operational workflows to improve resilience, reduce the financial impact of disruptions and strengthen its position as a core IT partner for airline operations control.
