Abstract
Smart Airport concept is the future of Airport operation and it may dramatically change the industry towards modern technology adaptation. This study mainly focuses on the Smart airport applications in to passenger terminal process. Literature scattered on different sources have been summarised to explain the features of smart airport with practical cases in global context. Empirical indications on implementation of the smart airport applications discussed based on practical implications of airport operations. Special attention given to the cases of the best performing major airports in Asia, Middle East & Europe. This study contribute to the field of academia and industry by identifying the advantages of smart airport implementation under the key areas of Aviation Security, Passenger Convenience, Operational Efficiency and Optimizing Limited resources. Further implantation methodology under passenger, baggage handling & regulatory controls have been discussed in this paper. Finally key challenges in implementation of the smart airport concept has been addressed and concludes with empirical justifications highlighting future research priorities on implementing the concept.
Highlights
Introduction such asAirport 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0(Nau & Benoit, 2017)
Airports Council International (ACI) statistics show 8.8 billion passenger traffic in the year 2018, which is 6% growth compared to the previous year(ACI World, 2019)
As per the passenger forecast published by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the Asia Pacific region creates the largest passenger volume up to the year 2035 and predicting almost 50% of new passengers to be originated
Summary
Passengers expect their convenience whilst ensuring more space for commercial activities, to throughout the terminal formalities without any get reduced airline operating costs can use modern harassment to the journey. SMART airports controls, screening methods, travel documents interlinked all severs of operating airlines and (passport), E-gates, permit entrance to the sterile gates, passengers can check-in through any shared kiosk placed at the terminal. This is a better solution for limited identification in baggage claim, border control clearance process can improve based on the biometric readers terminal space available whilst reducing cost and provide seamless service to the passenger. In addition to the airport infrastructure, regulatory border control body of the country should initiate the electronic travel documents for the use of local citizens at the initial stage
