Upcoming airports use an array of technologies to improve their efficiency and connectivity, ranging from integrated sensors for monitoring temperature and lighting, smart baggage tags for tracking and directing luggage to the aircraft, biometric check-ins with facial recognition, and cargo warehousing management.Īirports are using technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and predictive analysis for a wide range of applications, from customer service to operational efficiency.


The number of people opting for air travel has increased in the past few years, which has resulted in increased pressure on airports and airlines to opt for advanced systems that can enhance their ground operations and support their motive to reduce aircraft turnaround time. Europe and Asia-Pacific are anticipated to be the worst hit in terms of international passenger traffic and revenues. Airline Revenue-Per-Kilometer (RPK) has dropped by 48% compared to the 2019 value. According to the latest updates from IATA, ICAO, the Airports Council International (ACI), the UN World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), the World Trade Organization (WTO), and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the international air passenger traffic in 2020 experienced a drop of about 50-55% as compared to 2020 baseline.
