How air travel is evolving Airports are more crowded than ever Air traffic is expected to double in 20 years. This places a constraint on airports that don't have room to grow and accommodate the increase in travelers. If you don't act quick, you'll likely see a crowded airport that heightens security risk and dampens the passenger experience. More and more airports are considering sharing infrastructure like baggage claims, gates and passenger information. This helps accommodate more travelers and optimize passenger experience. Is your technology enabling you to encourage infrastructure sharing? Airport digitization Over the years, digital transformations have accelerated in airports. Many airports have prioritized upgrading their passenger- facing services like check-in kiosks, bag-drop, and self- boarding passes while leaving back-end systems to age. Flight business logic is the cornerstone to any airport but has often been left siloed in legacy systems. Does your vision encompass using flight information to provide operational value to more departments like security and operations? Democratization of airport data Airport planning is an everyday reality that involves balancing the complex relationships between demand, capacity, connect time, and passenger flow. From 6-month flight planning to daily staffing levels, airports need to be able to measure their key performance indicators (KPIs) to quickly detect when they're off-plan and get back on course. Are you tapping into your security infrastructure to measure KPIs like passenger flow metrics and does your security system guide teams on how to get back on course?
