Smart Airports: From Curb to Runway

Designing the future of passenger-centric airports

Airports are no longer just gateways; they are becoming intelligent, adaptive ecosystems. With rising passenger volumes, cost pressures, and ever-increasing passenger expectations, airport leaders face the challenge of doing more with less – delivering seamless, secure, and sustainable experiences without compromising efficiency or revenue.

The Smart Airports: Curb to Runway eReport, brought to you by International Airport Review, explores how forward-thinking hubs worldwide are transforming operations through biometrics, data-driven decision-making, automation, and hyper-personalisation.

Inside this free report, you’ll discover:

• Frictionless identity & biometrics: How airports are reducing queues by up to 40% and enabling touchless journeys.
• AI-driven decision-making: Turning real-time data into predictive insights to manage passenger flow, capacity, and resources.
• Automation & robotics: From autonomous baggage tractors to self-service systems that free staff for higher-value tasks.
• Hyper-personalisation: Digital services that enhance satisfaction, increase dwell time, and boost non-aero revenues.
• Capacity management: Growing throughput without the need for expensive infrastructure expansion.

Featuring insights from leading airports and technology partners such as HID Global, Zühlke, ZeroG, Veovo, and Idemia, and airports such as Aeropuertos Uruguay, Aena, Miami Airport, Fraport, Changi and Ezeiza Airport, this eReport shows how smart technologies can move beyond buzzwords to deliver measurable operational and commercial value.
