An airport information system is a digital platform specifically designed to manage and disseminate essential information across airport facilities. By integrating various subsystems, it supports smooth operations and communication throughout the airport infrastructure, significantly enhancing efficiency, safety, and overall passenger satisfaction.
The primary classifications of airport information systems are airside and terminal side systems. The airside system pertains to the parts of the airport dedicated to aircraft operations, including runways, taxiways, aprons, and parking areas. It integrates functions from the departure control system (DCS) and the airport operations control center (AOCC), and is utilized across various airport classes: class A, class B, class C, and class D. These systems serve a wide range of applications, from maintenance and ground handling to finance, operations, security, and passenger information, catering to both passenger and non-passenger end-user systems.

The escalation in air traffic is anticipated to drive the expansion of the airport information system market. Air traffic encompasses aircraft movements both in the air and on the ground, including takeoffs, landings, and en-route operations, and is increasing due to factors such as heightened global connectivity and advancements in aviation technology, spurred by growing economies. Airport information systems play a crucial role in managing this surge by providing real-time updates on flight schedules, gate assignments, and operational statuses, thus boosting both efficiency and safety. Notably, the International Air Transport Association, based in Canada, reported in January 2024 that total air traffic in 2023 (measured in revenue passenger kilometers) rose by 36.9% year-over-year. December 2023 saw a 25.3% increase in air traffic compared to the same month in the previous year, with international traffic experiencing a significant 41.6% increase in 2023 over 2022. Consequently, the upward trend in air traffic is catalyzing growth in the airport information system sector.
Leading companies in the airport information system market are focusing on innovations like real-time updates to enhance the passenger experience by delivering timely information directly through apps. Real-time updates refer to the immediate transmission of information as events happen, enabling users to access the latest data without delay. For example, in September 2024, Adani Airport Holdings Ltd., an India-based airline and aviation company, launched Avio to improve airport operations by providing real-time data on passenger movement. The new platform offers live updates on passenger and baggage flow, including information on security checks, wait times, gate changes, and baggage status, thereby improving the passenger experience. Designed for collaboration among airport stakeholders, Avio allows security personnel to access real-time information via smartphones. This tool aims to streamline airport operations and enhance communication between airlines, ground staff, and retail partners.
