With global passenger numbers rising and major hubs under pressure to deliver more predictable, efficient, and passenger centric operations, airports worldwide are stepping up efforts to integrate data and coordinate decisions in real time. Abu Dhabi Airports (ADA) is taking a major step in this direction through a new Memorandum of Understanding with SITA to explore the co-development of an AI driven, Intelligent Total Airport Management (iTAM) platform that brings real-time data, insights, and operational decisions together across the entire airport ecosystem.
As airports face tighter operating constraints and growing traveler expectations, ADA aims to build a more connected and resilient operating model that is capable of earlier disruption detection, better resource optimization, and smoother passenger journeys.
Under the MoU, both organizations will explore a shared operational data platform that integrates information from airlines, ground handlers, ATC, government agencies, and airport systems. By using advanced analytics, artificial intelligence, and autonomous workflows, it will help airports anticipate disruptions, optimize resources, and enhance safety, efficiency, and on-time performance. It serves as a scalable foundation for end-to-end AI driven airport management and continuous improvement.
