The aviation industry is now four years on from the pandemic and airports and stakeholders have moved on from worries about demand with their focus now pivoting back to the long-standing issue of capacity. One of our priorities at AiQ is helping airports with the challenges this issue brings and consulting with their planning and operational teams so that they can effectively manage capacity issues over the next few years and capitalise on the return to and surpassing of pre-pandemic passenger levels.
So what will drive capacity over the next 5 years? Our observations are that the following factors will be significant:
- Passenger behaviour and trends
- Automation
- Biometrics and digital identity
- Sustainability and Net Zero
