A new collaborative, cloud-based platform created by Transoft Solutions has the potential to transform the way airports around the world use and share airside operations information. AeroCENTRAL, along with the applications that run on the platform, combines an airport’s infrastructural information, such as its design and technical documents, with operational data in a centralized user-friendly interface.
Airport operators play a crucial role in facilitating a seamless customer experience by leveraging efficient operations and technology to increase revenue. Despite existing connectivity solutions, passengers can sometimes face issues with staying connected, impacting their overall experience. Adrien Tay, Chief Technology Officer, Smart Transportation writes how Huawei offers solutions to provide ubiquitous coverage, high-quality connections and seamless roaming to enhance passenger satisfaction across airport touchpoints.
Mr. Andy Bien, Chief Digital Officer (CDO) of Global Aviation, Huawei Technologies Co. shared his insights further on the technological development industry.
David Whitely from FTI Consulting explains why environmental, social and governance (ESG) should be a top priority for the region’s airports and aviation leaders.
Managing staff, equipment, and resources in an airport are challenging. They should be ready to meet service agreements and operational requirements regardless of delays or unpredictable difficult situations. However, it is not possible to afford overtime or extra pay under these circumstances. Therefore, managing limited assets is crucial for the maximum effectiveness of airport operations.
Airports are the new age malls! Over the years, airports have transitioned from merely being travel points to social and commercial hubs. As passenger choices and needs continue to evolve, the airports, too, are rediscovering themselves to offer more than just travel. Another factor contributing to the constant innovation is the increased competition between airports. As the megapolis expands, the need to plan multiple airports fuels this competition within the city airports too. They have realized that to achieve commercial success and remain a preferred airport for passengers, they must offer a broad spectrum of supporting services to elevate the passenger experience and increase revenue.
The rate of global sea level rise in the past 2 decades is approximately double of the last century. The warmest years, as recorded by NASA, are 2016 and 2020. Much of this is due to increased carbon dioxide emissions.
When it comes to responsive tactics to navigate shifts in passenger supply and demand at airports, understanding and maximizing gate utilization plays an essential role for both the operational efficiency and profitability of airports and their ability to deliver a first-class traveler experience.
