Fireside chat: Future global gateways – human-centered, data-driven, sustainable airport design vision

19 Mar 2026
Airport capacity and flexibility
The future of airports lies in designing intelligent, inclusive and sustainable gateways that seamlessly connect people, technology and communities. By integrating AI, data and digital transformation, airports can deliver touchless, predictive passenger journeys while enhancing operational efficiency. Beyond terminals, successful airport cities require holistic transportation, regional planning and vibrant, connected ecosystems. Inclusive and accessible design ensures dignity and ease for all travelers. Innovation, sustainability and human-centered thinking together create airports that are resilient, adaptive and transformative global hubs.
  • The future of airport capacity lies in adaptability, not expansion. Designing for change, how flexibility is the new capacity
  • How digital twins enable predictive capacity management. They’re becoming the foundation of data-driven airport management
  • Modular and adaptive terminal design. Enabling airports to respond nimbly to market shifts, regulatory change and emerging technology
  • Seamless passenger journeys drive throughput. Insights on innovations that reduce dwell times, eliminate bottlenecks and increase throughput
  • Integration of airside and landside operations. How connected airport ecosystems transform isolated processes into a single, intelligent flow
