Let's talk

Airport consultancy from aviation experts

We are aviation experts with deep-rooted experience in the airport industry. Our consultancy services are based on our expertise in operational strategy, advanced analytics, planning and optimization. 

We value strong partnerships and collaboration, ensuring that you are actively involved throughout the process and that our analyses are rooted in your reality and needs.

Our goal is to ensure the best possible operations and passenger experiences by anticipating bottlenecks before they occur and preventing queues from forming.

Let data define your airport operations

Our consultancy experts aim to help you utilize your airport’s data. We are experts in data analytics and can help you leverage data for operational improvements. By transforming data into actionable strategies, we help you optimize your resource management including staff plans and infrastructure utilization and improve your operational efficiency to minimize costs and delay expansions.

Our proprietary software, Better Airport, gives us a unique advantage in delivering effective solutions without building software from scratch. We often utilize our software in our consultancy work, but it is not a requirement that you invest in Better Airport to benefit from our consultancy. Ultimately, we want your airport operations to rely on data-driven decision-making rather than gut feelings.

CopOpt began by carrying out a Digital Maturity Assessment, appraising current processes and digital readiness at EIA across fifteen different business areas. They looked at where we have staff strengths and where we need to invest, so that our staff can really run a digital airport. Their recommendations were tangible and provided an action plan for digitalization.

Optimize your airport operations with advanced analytics built on collaboration

Our consultancy is always grounded in data and aligned with the operational realities and constraints unique to your airport. This methodology ensures that we not only address immediate challenges but also equip your airport with the predictive tools necessary to adapt to future demands.

At the core of our services is comprehensive data gathering and analytics, which allow us to gain a deep understanding of key airport operations, including passenger, bag, staff, and aircraft flows. Through optimized airport flows, we aim to optimize your operations and make your airport the best it can be.

Depending on your needs, our consultancy may result in a range of valuable outcomes, such as insights and recommendations for improvement based on our analysis, and user-friendly advanced data models. We also support reality-based scenario configurations in Better Airport and provide cost-benefit-focused executive presentations to help guide strategic decision-making.

The inclusion of Copenhagen Optimization as a trusted and objective partner on this analysis, provided MSP carriers with comfort that their operation would not be negatively impacted. Despite our previous conversations with the carriers about fit, the analysis was needed to complete the discussion.
