Issue 85 • June 2023
Welcome to the 85th issue of Airport Industry Review.
In our cover story this issue, we return to Doncaster Sheffield Airport following its closure. A new study suggests that the airport could rise from the ashes as a low-carbon tech hub. We take a closer look and find out how realistic the proposition is.
Elsewhere in tech, we learn how cloud-based solutions can help improve baggage handling operations – a key area of concern since passenger volumes have increased post-pandemic. We also find out how mobile interfaces can improve passenger experience and how apps can make airport operations more efficient.
As well as all of this, we speak to the National Grid about how the owner of the high-voltage electricity transmission network is preparing to support aviation electrification. Lastly, we talk to Blueskeye AI about how the startup is using AI to track pilot fatigue.
For this, and much more, read on. And don’t forget to follow us on Twitter @Airport_Mag as well.
