Greener airports and smarter air traffic management

Last year, global duty-free and travel retail sales at airports reached US$36bn; non-aviation revenues (shopping, F&B, car parking, advertising, real estate etc) represented 40% of total airport revenues. Although these are significant amounts, the full non-aviation business potential is often not realised at airports.This webinar will explore trends in the airport non-aero sector and how they can help airports, no matter their size and navigate good and turbulent economic times.

Demand for new aerospace and defense products continues to rise. Customers require the highest levels of performance, quality and reliability, and aerospace and defense products must adhere to stringent contract and regulatory requirements. The aerospace and defense global design and manufacturing supply chain must solve significant design and collaboration challenges while at the same time being under great pressure to meet these demands with products that get to market faster. Ensuring proper authoring of a 3D product definition and consumption of that definition is key to a globally distributed product development environment.

NEXTT (New Experience Travel Technologies) reimagines on-ground and airport experiences; in particular the emerging technologies and digital transformation this involves. ACI and IATA’s jointly published NEXTT visions have attracted industry-wide agreement on the ‘what’.So, the subsequent questions become ‘why’ and ‘how’. In presenting updates on the NEXTT initiative, including the tangible benefits and what we believe it can deliver – we hope that you can help the industry answer the question of ‘when’.As part of the NEXTT initiative, a Preliminary Cost-Benefit Analysis (Preliminary CBA) was commissioned to help understand the scale, timeline and distribution of benefits and costs to the aviation industry and consumers. The stated goal of this Preliminary CBA was to provide initial quantification of the potential impact of NEXTT on future aviation infrastructure demand, and to understand the combined impact of these technologies.

This 90-minute ACC on-demand webinar will define what microgrids are and describe how they can increase electric reliability and resilience at airports. Participants will additionally learn about other benefits of microgrids, including how they can lower costs and reduce carbon emissions.
