Various applications of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and Internet of Things (IoT) have started a series of technological advancements in multiple sectors, including the airline industry. The modern air travel experience has significantly changed from what it used to be in the previous decade. Advanced services and intelligent solutions have given rise to smart airports, capable of delivering a seamless and trouble-free user experience.
The airline industry has suffered a significant loss during the recent pandemic. As a result, the focus has been made on integrating different advancements in the telecommunication sector and aviation technology to create a streamlined workflow. Rapid digitalization of infrastructure, commercial and passenger flow have complimented in achieving intelligent automation processes with the help of smart solutions.
Smart Airports and Beyond
With the rise of air traffic, airports are becoming adaptive and proactive with the changing aviation dynamics. The major focus is to create intelligent airports by leveraging advanced technological solutions for interconnected services, improved operational efficiency and security maintenance. Modern airports have adopted cutting-edge technologies to provide smart solutions such as:
- Smart transport and parking services
- Ai-powered automated facial recognition at checkpoints
- Advanced health monitoring system in post-pandemic scenario
- Smart AI-based waste management system
- Remote maintenance using mobile devices
- AR and VR technology for advanced digital experience
Integrating technologies and delivering smart automated solutions enable a seamless experience for staff as well as passengers. The industry is focusing on AI, ML, intelligent building management, GPS & sensor, cyber security, decentralized platform and IoT for smart management & maintenance procedures to deliver a safe and secured flight experience.
With the help of smart integration, airline companies are focusing on implementing green initiatives for environmental protection. The aviation industry is upgrading legacy systems with advanced technologies to achieve sustainability and reduce carbon emissions. International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) published a report which states that air travel is one of the major sources of greenhouse gasses. Therefore, several airline organizations are aiming to achieve zero carbon emission within the present decade.
Green initiatives are further influencing the adoption of cutting-edge technologies in improving aircraft engine performance, fuel consumption and electric aircraft to increase efficiency and lower carbon footprints.
Blockchain Technology in Aviation
The adoption of a decentralized platform is gradually becoming popular across several industries, including the airline sector. With the popularity of decentralized Web3, blockchain technology is rapidly getting adopted in the aviation industry. Utilizing this specific advanced technology can deliver new innovative opportunities in data transparency related to flight security, maintenance and passenger information and would significantly increase efficiency as well as accuracy levels.
Applications of blockchain technology in aviation are as follows:
- Cargo and inventory tracking
- Smooth ticket overbooking
- Smart identity verification
- Enhanced aircraft maintenance
- Improved automated payments
Based on decentralized platform design, blockchain technology allows multi-business applications in the data processing. This results in stored data being jointly executed as digital blocks instead of individual execution by isolated applications. This gives a faster and improved result which helps in the decision-making process.
The aviation industry is experiencing a technological shift in terms of operational management and functional growth. Adopting advanced technologies, it is set to deliver a uniquely positive experience to passengers as well as staff.
