Unified Data Platform for Airport Management: Closing Aviation’s DataCoordination Gap
23 Sept 2026
Innovation Zone
Innovation Zone - Day 1
The air transport industry invested a record US$50.8 billion in technology in 2025, and airport IT budgets
reached 7.3 percent of revenue. SITA’s 2026 research pairs the number with a warning: the value of that
investment hinges on data coordination, and fewer than half of airports plan cross-silo data sharing by 2028.
This session shows a practical response. A unified data layer sits beneath existing systems: every operational
workflow becomes a governed, auditable app, systems connect over APIs in both directions, and coordination
arrives as a side effect rather than a migration. It closes with a live 3D apron monitoring demonstration driven
by records captured on ordinary phones
