Airports are the heartbeats of global travel, yet managing their operations efficiently remains a significant challenge due to the complexities of aircraft turnarounds. The traditional approach has been rigid, often leading to underutilized resources and unnecessary delays.
Recognizing this, we have united with Assaia to leverage the power of AI and real-time data analytics. Our shared goal is to transform stand and gate operations by introducing the Intelligent Buffer technology. This innovation not only optimizes the use of gates and stands but significantly enhances the predictability and efficiency of airport operations.
Intelligent Buffers: Enhancing Airport Capacity and Efficiency through AI
The integration of Assaia’s ApronAI and our Better Airport software solution sets new standards in operational efficiency and passenger experience. ApronAI’s ability to optimize turnaround processes and predict ready times pairs seamlessly with Better Airport’s robust planning and optimization capabilities. Together, we are creating Intelligent Buffers that dynamically adjust in real-time, ensuring optimal utilization of each stand and gate.
More specifically, Intelligent Buffer technology is transforming stand and gate operations by leveraging AI to analyze real-time data on aircraft turnarounds and predict off-block/ready times. This allows for dynamic adjustments to the time allocated between flights, significantly reducing idle time at gates and stands. By optimizing scheduling, Intelligent Buffers enhance turns per gate and improve the utilization of airport infrastructure.
A Joint Vision for the Future of Stand and Gate Operations
Imagine a future where every airport operation is a model of efficiency, where each turnaround is seamlessly executed with precision, and potential delays are proactively managed before they manifest. This is the future we envision and are actively working towards—a future where efficiency and resilience are not merely aspirations but achievable realities.
This partnership between Copenhagen Optimization and Assaia is just the beginning. We are committed to continuous innovation and are excited about the opportunities this collaboration opens up, not just for us but for the entire aviation industry.
I invite all of you, our industry partners and peers, to join us in this exciting journey. Let’s collaborate, innovate, and transform the way airports operate around the world. Together, we can achieve remarkable things.
