An Almost Catastrophic Delivery: Preventing the Next Runway Incursion

Runway incursions remain one of the most critical safety challenges for airports, with incidents often stemming from unauthorized access by vehicles or personnel unfamiliar with airport layouts. Current manual systems are increasingly strained by labor shortages and high turnover, exposing vulnerabilities in safeguarding restricted areas. Adopting advanced real-time location technology can address these risks, ensuring proactive monitoring, precise intervention, and enhanced operational safety across the airside environment.

New Tracking Technologies: A Potential Game-Changer for Airline On-Time Performance

Ramsey Nuwar highlights how new micro-location tracking technologies, like the system developed by Volan, can revolutionize airline on-time performance by offering real-time visibility of ground operations. Traditional manual tracking methods have often led to inefficiencies and delays. With Volan’s system, wearable devices for personnel and USB-connected trackers for vehicles provide precise data on the location and movement of resources such as fuel trucks, baggage handlers, and cleaning crews. This allows proactive delay prevention, optimized resource allocation, enhanced safety, and better accountability. 

Airports Are Meeting Passenger Demand and Improving Efficiency With Micro-Location Technology  

Michael Bettua provides an in-depth analysis of how micro-location technology can support airport operations, especially as passenger numbers continue to rise. It explores the benefits of this technology for resource management, compliance with health and safety regulations, and enhancing the passenger experience, backed by real-world examples and future outlooks.

Location Technology Can Deliver Happier Airline Passengers, Cleaner Bathrooms and Fewer Missed Connections.
