Airports have long excelled at the physical logistics of moving people and planes, but managing the flow of information across systems, teams, and partners is the next big challenge.
While most airports have modern systems, these are often delivered by different vendors, lack interoperability, and result in fragmented data. This makes it difficult for decision-makers to get a complete operational picture in real-time or to respond quickly to changing conditions.
As airports look to improve efficiency, reduce delays, and provide better passenger experiences, many are realising that data, when integrated and utilised properly, is the key to unlocking a smarter way of working. Rather than replacing systems, the real opportunity lies in connecting them. Creating a flexible, scalable data ecosystem allows for predictive capabilities, better collaboration, and more informed, confident decision-making.
You will learn:
- How to build connected, scalable ecosystems that overcome fragmentation and vendor lock-in
- Real-world examples of orchestration driving smarter, faster, and more resilient operations
- How predictive tools can reduce delays, increase visibility, and enhance passenger experience
- Practical steps to improve collaboration and become a truly data-driven airport
