Future of smart airport industry – It’s smart technology and Cloud efficiency

Demand for automated and self-service processes is on the rise due to increasing number of passengers at airports and the rise in need for effectively managing airport operations. This is, in turn, driving the requirement for upgraded solutions that would ease and allow automation of the processes at airports.

The smart airport market has risen in prominence with new innovative technologies that have helped personalize customer experiences. Rising IT spending on airports is anticipated to propel the market’s expansion as these solutions ease the burden on airport infrastructure and workforce. Emerging countries are showing dramatic traffic growth, diversity, and choice of airlines.

Among the various digital technologies used at airports these days, self-service kiosks, baggage tracking, and flight information using social media channels such as Twitter are gaining momentum rapidly. Airports are increasing adoption of advanced technology to offer customers enhanced experiences. Many airports are focused on introducing greater personalization of their existing services by delivering a number of technology-based options for their passengers. 
This is due to the extensive use of smartphones by people for various flight-related queries. Flight discovery is already a well-known mobile-based service. However, information updates related to customer service and baggage are also expected to play a major role in resolving most travel related issues at airports. Beacons and kiosks are also expected to play a vital role in the future, providing a personalized experience to passengers.
