How can airport modelling and simulation help you visualise your airport

 

Within an airport there are many levels of stakeholders with varying degrees of responsibility. Whether it is the operations team, airlines, retailers, airport management or investors; everyone needs to clearly understand the changeable demand and decisions affecting the airport holistically.

This is particulaly important in consolidation and recovery during and post COVID-19.  Reopening your airport brings new and ever-changing flight schedules, presenting challenges and complexities to your entire operation. AiQ Consulting solution to aid airports recovery is our new demand modelling tool, Airport Recovery Tool, ARTΔ.

Fast, simple and flexible, this tool quickly provides a holistic operational vision across 13 key processes including new health screening and social distancing processes for fast and smart decisions in managing your changeable daily resource requirement.

ARTΔ provides airport managers with vital information to make complex decisions, helping to efficiently manage changeable daily resource requirements, optimise costs and support the safety of passengers.

Efficiently manage your changeable demand with Airport Recovery Tool, ARTΔ. Discover more about this Airport Recovery Tool here 

When small changes can make a big difference to your airport

When it comes to releasing capacity and improving passenger flow in your airport, smaller changes can often make a huge impact on your operational effectiveness and revenue.

AiQ helps constrained and saturated airports worldwide face challenges through smart solutions and holistic approaches. Minor changes in technology, check-in and automation can make a big difference at peak hour to security and emigration.

Building your way out of a problem is not always the solution. Your airport needs to be smarter.

How can you find capacity in constrained and saturated airports?

Adrian Todd, our CEO, explores how the team at AiQ Consulting uses technology, simulations and thinking holistically to create smart airports and realise capacity worldwide.

Airports become constrained in one or two or all three areas – runway, stands and terminal – because the nature of the industry is to expand to use every available space. Even if you solve your capacity problems today, in a few years you will find yourself in a similar position. So how can you find, and keep finding, capacity in your airport?

Effective Asset Replacement for Airports

Asset replacement is an essential and continuous task for airports to remain secure and efficient. Hold Baggage Screening (HBS) replacement has been driven by new security standards with ECAC Standard 3 requiring much of the existing screening equipment to be replaced. An increase in demand for Early Bags Storage (EBS) may force the requirement to upgrade for increased efficiency and capacity. Whilst adopting new technologies for check-in and baggage systems have created the need to replace older equipment and updated processes. Read More »
