TOUR 13: Airport operations - the intelligent airport

Airports are becoming smarter, more connected and increasingly data driven. This walking tour explores how AI, digital assistants and advanced decision-support tools are transforming airport operations — from surface movements and turnaround management to network coordination. Through demonstrations and real validation results, discover how these innovations aim to improve punctuality, optimise capacity and enhance the efficiency of Europe’s airport ecosystem.
