Changes in the air…

AirportScheduled passenger traffic of airlines is currently growing at about 5% a year, with the Asia Pacific region continuing to lead the world (14% domestically). This has had an impact on passenger aircraft ground infrastructure on all continents. New, large airports are being built everywhere. And existing facilities are undergoing massive upgrades, not only to accommodate passenger growth, but to handle a new generation of super jets, like the Airbus 380. Currently, there are nearly 300 projects to build or refurbish airports worldwide, including 40 major hubs.

 

 

Privatization and competition have forced airports to take on what were once airline responsibilities: passenger self-service, self-boarding, common-use kiosks, duty-free shops, parking lot security, adjacent hotels, and people Düsseldorf movers. Increasingly, airportsare turning towards higher levels of technological investment to manage their business effectively, and improve services for operators, tenants and passengers.
