Airport Council International’s most recent economic report shows a “58.4% reduction in passengers as compared to 2019” and a “60% reduction in revenues”, resulting in “an unprecedented $104.5 billion reduction in revenue for 2020”. Though some airports claim that sales per passenger “went through the roof” during the pandemic, it cannot save airports from the devastating effect of Covid-19. Airports must find ways to optimize their rigid cost base, to introduce more agile processes and generate new revenue streams.

The year 2020 began like any other. For most of us in aviation, the conversation focused on the challenges around airport capacity, sustainability, compliance, and safety. Then the pandemic struck.

Everyday life hasn’t been the same since COVID-19 swept across the world. Perhaps, nowhere else has this impact been felt as strongly as in the airline and airport industry. Many airports and their suppliers have been forced to adapt quickly and accurately to constantly changing situations. The pandemic has driven innovation in working practices, and compelled us to work differently. This is exactly what ADB SAFEGATE Airport Systems UK did as we worked with a European airport throughout this year to remotely deploy an upgrade of the flight information software to feed what is believed to be the largest 4K video wall on the continent. It should now give even greater information to the travelling passengers.

With a good Resource Management System (RMS), an airport can optimize the use of, and have situation awareness of its assets such as aircraft parking positions, passenger boarding gates and baggage reclaim carousels and maximize their utilization according to the KPIs it thinks are most important. The complexities of deploying RMS can however deter many small and medium-sized airports. What if there was a better alternative?

APRON and GATE related applications, products – or in combination solutions – have conventionally been installed in relatively encapsulated environments. The solution got defined, often tailored for a specific airport under the “we are different” paradigm, installed and … frozen. Sticking to the encapsulated system environment, this has not necessarily been a “worst choice”-scenario. Many solutions are running this way for more than 15 years, a long time out of the books but still providing 100% performance.
