Smart Airport Operations: Embrace the future with Smart Technology

Ensure seamless and efficient operations by transforming FRA with advanced automated and autonomous solutions.
In a rapidly changing aviation world, staying ahead of operational challenges is crucial. Efficiency, versatility, reliability, attractiveness, and sustainability are the cornerstones of future airport operations. We are crafting a bold vision for the future of airport operations, leveraging the latest in automation and robotics. After extensive industry benchmarking and studying leading airports globally, we have identified the most impactful and mature technologies to enhance efficiency and elevate the passenger journey at Hub Frankfurt.
Our program consolidates pioneering projects from Lufthansa and Fraport, targeting critical areas such as baggage loading and unloading, autonomous transports, passenger jetways, and aircraft pushback operations. Each initiative is designed to harness the power of automation and robotics, setting new standards for efficiency.

For instance, in the area of baggage handling, robots support human operations, while autonomous transport vehicles ensure swift, reliable movement across the airport. Passenger jetways will be enhanced with automated systems, and innovative solutions for pushback and taxi operations will reduce delays and increase safety.
Achieving our vision of a smart airport requires close cooperation among all partners involved. By working closely with all partners and staying agile in response to the latest market trends, we're ensuring that solutions are not just cutting-edge but also future-proof. Automation solutions are the key to addressing today's aviation challenges, offering enhanced safety, efficiency, and reliability in an increasingly complex and demanding industry, while also mitigating the impact of staff shortages. This includes that we are not only focusing on the physical infrastructure but also the operational processes. As we move forward, we and our partners at Lufthansa and Fraport will continue to test and refine solutions to achieve optimal results. With a strong emphasis on passenger satisfaction and operational efficiency.
