The pressure to increase the speed and improve the means of transport especially for international transport is a key driver to the market. This has been blamed on factors such as economic development in the developing world, improved purchasing power, and affected Airline; LCC. These elements are actually enabling more passengers to afford to fly thus a higher passenger traffic. This has resulted to airports compensating by modernizing and expanding terminal to improve customer satisfaction as well as cater to the increasing throughputs. This implies that additional investments in technologies for check-in, security, baggage handling and passenger facilities have become necessary. The key areas of interest are efficiency to address long turnarounds, security enhancement and traveler satisfaction.

• Technological Advancements:

Airports are adopting biometric technology for identification and smart IDs; IoT for managing infrastructure; AI for generating insights, and a lot more. They are used in capacity planning, to improve operations across the system, and to meet the needs of the passengers. In addition, biometric systems also reduce the time at counters and boarding procedures which require the use of IoT devices to monitor and control conditions in the facilily for passengers’ comfort and safety. In other words, existing AI solutions help identify trends in the movement of passengers and further improve the range of services provided, as well as avoid congestion. None of these technologies just helps the airports to manage the growing passenger traffic, but also enhances the level of service delivery, making airports into the modern customer-oriented facilities.

• Regulatory and Security Requirements:

Governing bodies and international agencies are constantly updating policies to enhance aviation safety and security, mandating the adoption of sophisticated screening and surveillance technologies. These regulations require airports to implement advanced security systems, including full-body scanners, explosive detection systems, and extensive surveillance cameras. Compliance with these regulations ensures the safety of passengers and employees, but it also requires investment from airport operators. Additionally, environmental regulations are pushing airports to adopt sustainable practices, influencing the design and operation of terminal facilities. Airports are investing in environmentally friendly technologies and processes, such as energy-efficient lighting and water recycling systems, to reduce their environmental impact.
