New technologies in management of ground movements at the airport
Abstract
Modernization and implementation of the most modern technologies in the process of air transport management is one of the most effective solutions that need to be clarified in the process of developing the airport and its capacity. The aim of this article is to characterize the basic activities of aircraft ground handling and the processes of automation of ground operations, to describe current ground movement control technologies in airport areas and to present the components of an optimal ground movement control system at regional airports. This article investigates the limited adoption of advanced ground movement management technologies in regional and small airports, attributing the hesitation primarily to financial constraints. The study reveals efforts toward modernization for enhanced operational efficiency and passenger satisfaction. However, financial limitations pose challenges, especially for smaller airports lacking regular flights and passenger volume. The research emphasizes key priorities for regional airports, including accelerating the check-in process, improving overall airport efficiency, and minimizing operational costs. The article concludes by emphasizing the critical role of such technologies in improving airport safety, efficiency, and overall air transport quality, urging airport management to consider their integration for a transformative impact on operations.
