Watch this exclusive interview giving you a sneak preview into the type of discussion you can expect at International Airport Summit 2025.
As passenger numbers surge past pre-pandemic highs, airports face a critical challenge: how to increase throughput, reduce delays, and optimise every inch of their infrastructure—without the cost or complexity of building new runways or terminals.
In this exclusive International Airport Review interview, filmed ahead of the International Airport Summit in Berlin (19–20 November 2025), we speak with:
- Chris Miles, COO, Calgary Airport Authority
- Marco Rueckert, CTO, Searidge Technologies
Together, they explore:
- How airports can unlock hidden airside capacity using data, AI, and predictive analytics
- The importance of collaboration and breaking down data silos between stakeholders
- Practical examples where smart tech has improved turnaround times and passenger experience
- Why digital transformation is now a must for airports of all sizes
- What attendees can expect from their upcoming fireside chat at the International Airport Summit
If you work in airport operations, planning, or digital transformation, this discussion is packed with practical insights and strategies you can take back to your team.
