Data management and the route to creating a digital airport

The amount of data produced by businesses doubles roughly every two to four years and aviation is no exception. The sector produces petabytes of data that is regularly used to provide all manner of safety, operational and commercial insights. For airports, data is the cornerstone of operational efficiency and passenger experience. This fireside chat explores the approaches and tools needed for effective data management and the audience will receive three key takeaways on the route to a digital airport and where to begin. 

Expert speakers will share insights and experience on: 

  • The role of connected data & AI in transforming airport asset management 
  • How to keep data up to date in the ever-changing airport environment 
  • How digital twins are supporting reliable assets & an enhanced airport experience.
