Digitalizing Airport Turnaround: A Path to Enhanced Efficiency
Digitalizing Airport turnaround is crucial for increasing operational efficiency, reducing delays, and cutting operating costs. By integrating technologies such as Airport Collaborative Decision Making (A-CDM), IoT, AI, and Big Data, Airports, Airlines, and Ground Handlers can achieve precise planning and smooth communication, leading to a more efficient and predictable operational flow. Benefits include higher punctuality, reduced fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions, and improved passenger experience. We're collaborating with a corporation in Latin America to address all the key challenges and implement a unified, scalable communication system. Our commitment to innovation will boost the Airline industry's regional competitiveness.

The digitalization of turnaround is essential to increase the operational efficiency of Airports, Airlines and Ground Handlers, reducing delays, operating costs and optimizing resource allocation. Technologies such as A-CDM, integrated with IoT, Artificial Intelligence and Big Data allow for a more precise planning and fluid communications between all parties involved, ensuring a more efficient and predictable operational flow. The benefits include increased punctuality, reduced fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions, and also improvements in the passenger experience.
A practical example is the implementation of AI to predict delays and dynamically reallocate ground crews, increasing efficiency. With that in mind, we are working with a renowned corporation in Latin America, executing the first steps (in diagnosis) and the main operational challenges, such as frequent delays, communication failures, and the lack of digital standardization. The upcoming solution involves implementing a unified and scalable communication system, ensuring integration between the different players in the airport ecosystem.
The next steps involve a detailed study of all implementation phases, selection of technology partners and definition of a strategic roadmap for the adoption of all these technologies. The commitment to innovation and digitalization of the turnaround is essential to boost the competitiveness of the Airlines and Airports industry in the region.
