Our recent attendance at some of this year’s aviation exhibitions and events has shown us some interesting developments facing the industry. These new innovations promise great efficiency in so many ways, and affect all areas of the airport; airspace, airfield, terminal and apron.
When we visited the British Irish Airports Expo and Passenger Terminal Expo we took a look at these new innovations to find out how they would affect airports worldwide, as well as our work as airport consultants.
The movement of passengers through airport has always been of the utmost importance to AiQ Consulting and our clients. Whether it is realising capacity , improving check in processes and developing hold baggage systems, the flow of passengers is always critical.
And why shouldn’t it be? Without passengers, there would be no airport, and their wants and needs shape the way airports are constructed and managed. When we provide simulations to recreate a problem or offer solutions for clients, the data we use conveys typical human behaviour in all passengers. Read More »
We’ve got a busy 2017 coming up, with lots of exciting new projects and attendance at various aviation industry events throughout the year.
Our team really enjoys our presence at these seminars, expos and conferences. They are a great opportunity to learn about new issues, technology or legislation affecting airports and the aviation industry worldwide. They also offer the prospect of connecting with new and old clients, peers, prospects and suppliers. It gives us the chance to explore the possibilities of our services and technology with others; whether it is the experience of our skilled team, or the groundbreaking TransvisionAiR™ software.
So, where will AiQ be over the first few months of 2017?

It’s been an extremely productive year for AiQ Consulting. Our team and the variety and scope of our projects have continued to develop throughout 2016 and we’re very proud of the work we have achieved. Join us in our review of the year as we look at our achievements over the next two blogs.
A Global Brand
Welcome to Part Two of our review of the year! It’s great that we can’t fit all of our achievements and growth into one blog, so thank you for joining us for the second installment.
New Ways of Thinking
There is a significant benefit to GSE Pooling for airports, where studies suggest that planning the use of a pool of ground service equipment for use by all ground handlers, instead of the usual method of individual ownership and storage, can reduce the space used in the apron by up to 24%.
What is Ground Services Pooling?
With more than 10,000 athletes staying at the village of 31 apartment blocks close to the Olympic Park during the Rio Olympic Games, there must be a fair amount of logistical problems for officials to face. Although the media doesn’t always hear about them, especially if everything goes to plan and there are no disasters, there will always be thousands of people working hard behind the scenes to make such a massive event possible.
This is something that AiQ Consulting has a lot of experience in! During the London 2012 Games, we worked with various contractors and clients to organise the Pop-Up terminal at Heathrow for the thousands of athletes arriving and departing London before and after the Games.
As Part One of this blog looked at the complex and lengthy journey involved for baggage at airports, in Part Two we explore the challenges of this process. How can airports improve Early Bag Stores and Make Up Points to create more efficient airports and a better passenger experience?
