Aeroporti di Roma (ADR) is scaling up deployment of a physical AI solution from Outsight across Rome Fiumicino Airport, extending the technology to nearly all common-use areas within the Schengen zone.

The move follows an initial rollout under ADR’s Runway to the Future innovation program, in which the system was deployed in the arrivals immigration area. According to the companies, that phase delivered measurable operational benefits, prompting the transition to full-scale deployment.

The solution uses lidar-based spatial intelligence to analyze passenger flows in real time.

SITA’s latest Air Transport IT Insights report has found that despite record technology investment across the aviation sector, limited data sharing between systems and partners continues to restrict outcomes.

The report shows the industry invested US$50.8bn in IT in 2025, with airlines spending US$36bn (3.6% of revenue) and airports US$14.8bn (7.3% of revenue). However, SITA said a lack of coordinated data flow is preventing that investment from delivering full value.

“We are publishing this research at a moment when the industry is under significant pressure,” said David Lavorel, CEO of SITA.

Hayden Davies, GM of product at Veovo, argues that it’s time airports took a fresh look at how they manage and use their data

I’ve spent much of my career in mission-critical systems, and few environments are as demanding or interconnected as an airport. What strikes me most, though, isn’t the complexity of the operation; it’s the gap between how airports operate today and the systems that are supposed to support them.

The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has launched its digital platform for airport infrastructure project monitoring and airport directory dashboard.

The platform has been developed by AAI to strengthen real-time monitoring, transparency and data-driven decision making across India’s expanding aviation ecosystem. It integrates two digital modules – a project monitoring system for infrastructure development and the online airport directory dashboard (known as the Digital Cockpit) for operational analytics.

At the core of the platform is the Building Information Modeling-based project monitoring system (BPMS), which provides a unified and real-time view of airport development and modernization projects undertaken by AAI.

CUPPS is already a given for most airlines and airports. The real question today is not whether to deploy common use, but how to deliver it reliably in live, high-pressure environments and how to support it once it is operational.  With AeroCloud technology successfully implemented at more than 80 airports across the USA and Europe, AeroCloud has built deep experience operating in mission-critical settings. In this exclusive interview, Bogdan Ihnatiuc, VP of operations at AeroCloud, tells PT World about what airports and airlines value most from modern CUPPS, where implementations succeed or fail, and why long-term operational support is just as important as day-one delivery.

OMA Airports (Grupo Aeroportuario Centro Norte), a member of the Vinci Airports network, has announced a landmark digital transformation initiative across its 13-airport portfolio, in partnership with AirportLabs. This collaboration marks a significant leap in operational efficiency and passenger experience, with the Mexican airport group serving over 26 million passengers annually.

The partnership began with a milestone achievement: the fastest FIDS implementation, with VisionAir FIDS rolled out at Mexico’s Chihuahua Airport in just 40 days, with the successful rollout across the remaining 12 airports completed by the end of 2025.

To combat delays caused by unpredictable weather such as storms and turbulence, DSNA, France’s air navigation service provider, has worked with SITA to trial real-time weather tools designed to give controllers the same live data already used by pilots and airline dispatchers.

Originally developed for airlines, SITA eWAS and Mission Watch give pilots and dispatchers a detailed, continuously updated view of global weather. Together, they provide a single, consistent source of information that helps controllers adjust regulations precisely and restore normal traffic flows more quickly.

Airports using AI to manage aircraft turnarounds are cutting departure delays and saving tens of millions of dollars every year according to new data from Assaia’s 2025 Turnaround Report.

The report analyzes more than 450,000 AI-enabled aircraft turnarounds at 15 airports in Europe and North America between April 2024 and March 2025. It reveals that airports deploying Assaia’s technology have achieved measurable operational gains: 25% reduction in departure delays; 5% improvement in gate efficiency; one additional flight per day for every 20 gates; and average departure delays reduced to three minutes.
