APRON. The apron is a bustling area of an airport where numerous operations occur, such as aircraft parking, servicing, refueling, and loading or unloading of passengers and cargo. Consequently, it’s crucial to adopt sustainable practices in apron operations to reduce environmental impacts, optimize efficiency, and ensure cost-effectiveness.
TECHNOLOGY TRENDS. The integration of artificial intelligence in airport operations is a game changer, and in 2024, ADB SAFEGATE expects to see the convergence of this technology and tangible business results. Take a look at what we see as the top three trends in AI for the year ahead.
