Day 1: Tuesday, March 14 at 16:20

Airlines and airports have collaboratively and continuously improved operations on the apron by advancing technology and procedures. These improvements focus on safety, capacity and efficiency.

The next big gains will be achieved during apron operations as aircraft approach and depart from the gate.

In order to achieve this vision, a scalable plan for providing elasticity is required. The volatility of the many individual activities that support safe aircraft docking and management at the gate/stand can only be addressed with highly visible and well-developed tools that are sufficiently flexible and elastic.

What the audience will learn

Importance of apron operations in overall airport performance and passenger satisfaction
Role of technologies in digitalizing apron operations
Fast and efficient aircraft turnaround management using AI and predictive technologies
Bringing predictability and proactivity in apron operations
Real-time cost and revenue monitoring on the apron
