Airport use cases
Valorization of airport operational data
Use case
The airport operational database (AODB) is an underexploited goldmine. Its direct sharing with partners is often complex, unsecured, and not monetized.
Uncontrolled data sharing via flat files, without governance or traceability.
Difficulty in meeting the specific needs of each partner (airlines, ground handlers, retailers) and loss of potential revenue opportunities.
Required data sources
- Updated flight information
- Baggage delivery milestones
- Ground handling milestones
- Environmental performance
Stakeholders
- Airport operators
Projected benefits
- IT development costs
- Operational performance
- Better punctuality
Ground handlers
Use Case
During aircraft preparation, multiple service providers work within a typically short time frame, requiring efficient coordination to ensure timely and seamless operations. Their tasks can be parallel but often need to be synchronized. When an issue arises, it is essential to quickly inform all stakeholders, particularly the Assistant who is responsible for their client airline.
An example: retrieving flight information data and baggage delivery milestones is crucial for anticipating potential delays and minimizing their impact.
Required data sources
- Updated flight information
- Baggage delivery milestones
- Ground handling milestones
- Environmental performance
Stakeholders
- Airport operators
Projected benefits
- IT development costs
- Operational performance
- Better punctuality
Terminal cleaning
Use Case
Airport terminal cleaning service providers aim to better plan their human resource needs through improved zone-based allocation, adjusting to passenger traffic to ensure more efficient cleaning when it is most needed.
Required data sources
- Passenger and flight forecasts
- Passenger flow (counting, density)
- Number of meals served
- Passagers satisfaction rate
Stakeholders
- Commercial/Retail
- Airport authority
Projected benefits
- Productivity
- Service quality
