Airport Information Systems Market Trends

• Increased air traffic and the demand for real-time data for passengers will drive market growth

Market CAGR for airport information systems is being driven by the increased air traffic and the demand for real-time data for passengers. Rising air traffic and a growing demand for real-time data exchange among passengers are the primary drivers driving the market's expansion. Furthermore, increasing airport expansion projects and airport infrastructure upgrading boost market growth. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) predicts that the number of passengers will more than quadruple to 8.2 billion by 2037. According to the IATA estimate, China will get 1 billion new passengers over the next 20 years, while the United States will gain 481 million. Thus, as the number of air travellers increases, so does the number of airports, creating a demand for Airport Information Systems.

Despite the fact that the pandemic had a severe influence on worldwide passenger traffic, the number of scheduled passengers handled by the airline industry had risen in the previous decade. The fundamental motivator for airports to invest in new and improved airport information systems has been this. Several airports throughout the world have invested in developing new information and airport management systems to improve the travel experience for customers. Airports are also developing agile technologies to predict capacity demand, improve passenger travel experience, increase operational process efficiency, boost staff productivity, and assure safety and security. New technologies and passenger check-in processes are being adopted in airports around the world to make air travel more convenient for new passengers. As an example, Perth Airport built new self-service kiosks and bag drop units in October 2022, and stated that it would begin testing biometric passenger processing, with a Singapore Airlines flight being the first to begin the process. Expansion of existing airports expands the market as well.

The airport information system industry is being driven by the increasing deployment of passenger mobile applications. It uses Bluetooth to activate or trigger the display of information on smartphones and tablets that is pertinent to the passenger's individual location and environment.  

For instance, Cork Airport has partnered with the cutting-edge flight tracking provider Flightradar24 to deliver real-time flight tracking through its airport app. The novel feature allows airport passengers to access extensive information on departing and incoming flights at the airport by clicking on an aircraft on the in-app map. Users can learn about an aircraft's route, type, speed, altitude, distance travelled, and total distance to the destination.
