Airport Monitoring tools track everything from service vehicle movement to environmental conditions. These systems improve visibility and help identify problems before they escalate. Continuous monitoring reduces risk and keeps airport operations running smoothly. Sensors, dashboards, and alerts form the backbone of modern airport oversight.

Optimizing Aircraft Turn Times with Volan’s Micro-Location Technology

Michael Bettua explains how Volan’s micro-location technology optimizes aircraft turn times by providing real-time tracking of ground support vehicles, such as fuel and luggage trucks. This enables more precise coordination, reducing idle times and increasing operational efficiency, which is critical for maximizing flight capacity and ensuring on-time departures. The technology also enhances safety and regulatory compliance while cutting down operational costs and carbon emissions. Airports using Volan have reported significant improvements, such as reducing average turn times by 15%, leading to more flights and better passenger satisfaction.

Airports Soar with New Technology for Safety and Operational Excellence

US airports face the challenge of complying with the FAA’s Safety Management System rule, necessitating better incident detection and reporting, particularly in outdoor areas like runways and taxiways. Traditional methods of supervision prove cumbersome and error-prone, prompting airports to adopt affordable micro-location technology, such as IoT sensors and wearable locators, for real-time asset tracking. A major Midwest airport has implemented Volan’s geofencing solution, which exemplifies this approach, offering instant breach alerts and detailed data for investigations.
