AeroCloud Systems, the cloud native software platform dedication to the support of airports has won a three-year contract to provide the Flight Information Display Systems (FIDS) and gate management systems (GMS) for Lynden Pindling International Airport in the Caribbean.
The new operations management system will be in place from Q3, 2022, with AeroCloud CEO and Co-founder, George Richardson, saying: “With our state-of-the-art modular platform we can provide Lynden Pindling International Airport with a best-in-class solution to help manage the millions of passengers it processes each year.
“We’re shaking the industry up – airports deserve better, and we are providing the infrastructure to achieve this. NAS is the perfect example of an airport that was in need of change, and I am delighted they selected us to lead their innovation and assist with the growth ambitions that this airport team can deliver.”
AeroCloud’s approach focuses on automating labour-intensive tasks and predicting operational events such as spikes in passenger numbers and congestion on the apron and gate areas, both of which occur during busy peak periods at airports like Lynden Pindling. The platform’s open architecture allows for access to a wide range of data sources, thus providing airport stakeholders with insights into operational trends such as cancellations, delays and diversions. These predictive capabilities in turn facilitate prescriptive analytics that can optimise future gate allocation planning in a way that revolutionises airport decision making.
Lynden Pindling already has access to enhanced arrival and departure data via the AeroCloud platform. The AI-Driven GMS will prove particularly valuable in supporting the management of the commercial aprons with the aim of enhancing operational efficiency.
“Our gate management system will create a paradigm shift for Lynden Pindling International Airport greatly reducing the amount of manual tasks required to manage their operations and also alerting key stakeholders to take proactive measures towards avoiding conflicts and irregular operations,” added Richardson.
“It’s a fail-safe solution and we applaud Lynden Pindling International Airport’s progressive approach towards resolving the disruption issues faced by many airports recently. Our tool requires little to no manual intervention for resource planning. This was imperative to meet their automation needs.”
By utilising special tools embedded within the system, AeroCloud’s software also allows airports to see and respond to peaks and troughs in passenger levels.
