Hosted by ADB SAFEGATE
“From reactive turnarounds to predictive apron intelligence — hear directly from Heathrow, British Airways and IAG on what’s changing.”
12:00 – Opening Address
Regardt Willer, CMO and VP of business development, ADB SAFEGATE
Europe’s most capacity-constrained airports are rethinking their aprons. Reactive operations, manual coordination, and fragmented data no longer support the scale, safety and predictability required at major hubs. In this executive panel, leaders from Heathrow, British Airways and IAG discuss how live projects are moving operations from prediction to decisive action. From automated FOD detection and remote bridge control to real-time event time-stamping, the session explores how stand intelligence is reshaping operational control. A candid discussion on governance, accountability, and measurable performance gains — and what it takes to turn innovation pilots into scalable operating models.
