Visitors continued to flood into Excel London today, as Day 2 of PTE World 2026 got underway. Just like yesterday, the aviation community has turned out in force, thronging the expo halls in search of new tech to improve their operations. Here are just a few examples of what’s been drawing their attention today.
UFA introduces new simulator training for airside drivers
UFA, a leader in airport and air traffic training solutions, is telling expo visitors about its new ATVehicle airside driving simulator. The program provides airfield drivers with highly realistic training, enabling them to practice complex airside operations and communication in a safe environment. Using a digital replica of the airport and advanced simulation technology, trainees can develop the necessary skills and confidence for airfield operations, airfield firefighting and aircraft pushback driving. UFA CEO David Wolff said, “UFA is excited to connect with aviation leaders at PTE World as global air travel reaches record levels. Visit us to see how the future of aviation training is taking shape with our next-generation simulation.”
See the simulator in action at Booth E350.
Outsight puts spatial intelligence in the spotlight
Outsight’s spatial intelligence platform helps airports understand and optimize passenger and vehicle movement from curbside to gate. Using 3D lidar sensors, Edge AI and cloud analytics, it delivers real-time, privacy-first insights that improve operations, passenger experience and security. Airports can define zones and monitor KPIs such as occupancy, queue length, wait times and flow. With alerts, historical analysis and journey insights, operators can identify bottlenecks, optimize staffing and reduce congestion, turning complex airport movements into actionable intelligence. Outsight’s founder, Raul Bravo, said “Exhibiting at PTE World is always exciting because this is where airport leaders come to solve real operational challenges. It’s a great opportunity for us to show how Outsight’s spatial intelligence gives teams a live, detailed view of passenger and vehicle movement across the airport.”

SOS Lab offers real-time passenger flow insights
SOS Lab is showcasing LCAS QMAP, its lidar-based queue monitoring and analytics platform. Designed to help airports better understand passenger movements and queue conditions in real time, LCAS QMAP transforms spatial data into clear operational insights, supporting faster responses to congestion and more efficient terminal management. Visitors are enjoying live demonstrations of LCAS QMAP and exploring how the platform is currently being applied in real environments. The SOS Lab team is also sharing insights from the system’s deployment at Gimhae International Airport in Korea, where lidar-based analytics support queue monitoring and operational awareness. An SOS Lab spokesperson said, “We’re excited to be exhibiting at PTE World and connecting with the global airport community.”

Elten reveals the future of automated ULD loading
The physically demanding nature of manual baggage handling can take its toll on the workforce. Elten is at the show to tell visitors about Eltonomous, a smart, ergonomic and efficient automated baggage loading system that streamlines this process. Eltonomous takes the load off the workforce by mechanizing the most demanding aspects of the loading process, and significantly increases handling capacity per operator while reducing repetitive movements. Expo visitors are donning VR glasses to experience this innovation first-hand, stepping into an immersive simulation to see exactly how Eltonomous handles baggage with precision. A spokesperson for Elten Logistic Systems said, “We’re thrilled to exhibit at PTE World for the very first time. The energy here is incredible, and we can’t wait to share our solutions with industry leaders from around the globe.”
