Everywhere around the world, airports are going digital. From digital check-in and mobile apps to digital wayfinding, advanced Flight Information Display Systems and more, airports are focused on digital transformation to enhance the passenger journey and drive better operational efficiency, especially post-pandemic. The airport digitisation market is projected to generate more than $8.52 billion by 2030, while Asia-Pacific is expected to show the highest growth in the smart airports market in the next six years, partly due to the booming tourism industry in India and China.
There is strong consumer demand for self-service and smart airport concepts , and solutions like airport virtual helpdesk or airport virtual assistant are leading the charge to meet this demand. Designed to offer round-the-clock assistance in airports, a virtual helpdesk for airports can ease passenger travel worries, eliminate lengthy queues and create safer, more connected airports.
