The projected growth during the forecast period is expected to be driven by the development of passenger-centric solutions, the integration of smart infrastructure and IoT, the pursuit of sustainable operations, seamless intermodal connectivity, enhanced cybersecurity and data privacy measures, adherence to regulatory compliance and standards, and the incorporation of autonomous systems and robotics. Key trends anticipated in this period include the enhancement of the digital passenger experience, further integration of intermodal connectivity, strengthening of cybersecurity and data privacy protocols, advanced deployment of smart infrastructure and IoT, increased automation and robotics, and intensified focus on sustainability initiatives.

The escalation in air traffic is anticipated to drive the expansion of the airport information system market. Air traffic encompasses aircraft movements both in the air and on the ground, including takeoffs, landings, and en-route operations, and is increasing due to factors such as heightened global connectivity and advancements in aviation technology, spurred by growing economies. Airport information systems play a crucial role in managing this surge by providing real-time updates on flight schedules, gate assignments, and operational statuses, thus boosting both efficiency and safety. Notably, the International Air Transport Association, based in Canada, reported in January 2024 that total air traffic in 2023 (measured in revenue passenger kilometers) rose by 36.9% year-over-year. December 2023 saw a 25.3% increase in air traffic compared to the same month in the previous year, with international traffic experiencing a significant 41.6% increase in 2023 over 2022. Consequently, the upward trend in air traffic is catalyzing growth in the airport information system sector.

Leading entities in the airport information system arena are focusing on developing innovative offerings such as cloud-based network solutions to maintain a competitive advantage. These solutions enhance the scalability, flexibility, and accessibility of airport information systems, facilitating efficient data management and communication across various airport operations. For example, in September 2021, Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., a technology firm based in China, unveiled an Airport Cloud-Network Solution aimed at augmenting operational efficiency and bolstering security and passenger experience at airports. This comprehensive solution integrates various components including an airport terminal access network, a backbone network, a cloud data center network, and network security features.

An airport information system is a digital platform specifically designed to manage and disseminate essential information across airport facilities. By integrating various subsystems, it supports smooth operations and communication throughout the airport infrastructure, significantly enhancing efficiency, safety, and overall passenger satisfaction.

The primary classifications of airport information systems are airside and terminal side systems. The airside system pertains to the parts of the airport dedicated to aircraft operations, including runways, taxiways, aprons, and parking areas. It integrates functions from the departure control system (DCS) and the airport operations control center (AOCC), and is utilized across various airport classes: class A, class B, class C, and class D. These systems serve a wide range of applications, from maintenance and ground handling to finance, operations, security, and passenger information, catering to both passenger and non-passenger end-user systems.
