This webinar explores how airports are moving from isolated digital pilots to integrated smart airport strategies that improve operations, passenger experience, resilience and collaboration across the aviation ecosystem.

Airports are under growing pressure to modernise infrastructure, improve operational efficiency and deliver seamless passenger journeys, all while navigating workforce constraints and rising cybersecurity risks. At the same time, technologies such as AI, biometrics, automation and real-time operational platforms are maturing rapidly, offering both opportunity and complexity for airport leaders.

This webinar will examine how airports are moving beyond isolated digital pilots to implement integrated, enterprise-wide smart airport strategies. Bringing together senior leaders from across digital, IT and airport operations, the discussion will focus on practical approaches to embedding technology into day-to-day operations, strengthening resilience and enabling more effective collaboration across the aviation ecosystem.

The session will feature a 45-minute panel discussion followed by a live audience Q&A, offering valuable insights grounded in real-world experience.

Key questions we will explore

• What does a “smart airport” actually look like operationally in 2026?

• How are airports integrating automation, biometrics and real-time operational data into live environments?

• How can legacy systems be modernised without disrupting operations or compromising cybersecurity resilience?

• Which technologies and operating models will define the next phase of airport digital transformation?
