The Evolution of Common Use in Airports: From LAX to Shanghai and Beyond

The Evolution of Common Use in Airports: From LAX to Shanghai and Beyond

The Rise of Common Use and What It Means for Airlines and Passengers

Abstract

The common use approach in airports has become an increasingly popular trend in the aviation industry, driven by the need for cost savings, increased efficiency, and improved passenger experience. By sharing infrastructure, technology solutions, and terminal facilities, airlines can reduce costs, improve turnaround times, and adapt more easily to capacity constraints. Digital platforms, self-service kiosks, automated baggage handling, and gate assignment management systems are just a few examples of the technology solutions that are enabling shared infrastructure in airports. Additionally, common use infrastructure provides increased flexibility and environmental sustainability, making it an attractive option for airports and airlines alike. This article explores the key benefits of common use in airports, and how the industry is leveraging technology and collaboration to drive innovation and efficiency in airport operations.

History of Common Areas

The concept of common use in airports has been around for several decades, but it has evolved significantly over time as technology and the aviation industry have changed.

The first airport to implement a common use system was Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in the 1960s. At the time, LAX was experiencing significant growth in air traffic and did not have enough space to accommodate all the airlines that wanted to operate there. To address this issue, LAX implemented a common use system that allowed airlines to share terminal facilities and infrastructure.

Over time, the concept of common use spread to other airports around the world, driven in part by the growing need for cost savings and efficiency in the aviation industry. In the 1980s and 1990s, airports began to develop more sophisticated common use systems, using technology such as computerized reservation and check-in systems to facilitate shared use of infrastructure.

In the 2000s and 2010s, the trend towards common use continued to accelerate, with airports investing in advanced technologies such as self-service kiosks, automated baggage handling systems, and digital platforms to manage gate assignments and baggage handling. These technologies have made it easier for airports to facilitate common use while also improving efficiency and the passenger experience.

What are the main benefits to this approach?

There are several benefits to the common use approach in airports:

  1. Cost Savings: Common use infrastructure allows multiple airlines to share the same facilities and equipment, reducing the need for each airline to invest in its own infrastructure. This can result in significant cost savings for airlines, which can be passed on to passengers in the form of lower ticket prices.
  2. Improved Efficiency: By sharing infrastructure, airlines can improve efficiency and reduce turnaround times for aircraft. This means that planes can spend less time on the ground and more time in the air, resulting in increased revenue for airlines and fewer delays for passengers.
  3. Increased Flexibility: Common use infrastructure allows airlines to adapt more easily to changing demand and capacity constraints. For example, if an airline experiences a sudden increase in demand, it can use common use facilities to quickly add more flights and capacity.
  4. Enhanced Passenger Experience: Common use infrastructure can also improve the passenger experience by providing access to more amenities and services, such as lounges, self-service kiosks, and automated baggage handling systems. This can help reduce wait times and make the travel experience more convenient and enjoyable for passengers.
  5. Environmental Benefits: By reducing the need for each airline to invest in its own infrastructure, common use infrastructure can also help reduce the environmental impact of air travel. For example, shared baggage handling systems can reduce the amount of energy and resources needed to process baggage, while shared lounges and amenities can reduce the amount of space needed for each airline to provide its own facilities.

In Conclusion

Overall, the common use approach in airports offers numerous benefits to airlines, passengers, and the environment, making it an increasingly popular trend in the aviation industry.

In conclusion, the common use approach in airports has become an increasingly important trend in the aviation industry, driven by the need for cost savings, increased efficiency, and better service for passengers. By sharing infrastructure and technology, airlines and airports can reduce costs, improve turnaround times, and enhance the passenger experience. Additionally, common use infrastructure can provide increased flexibility and environmental benefits, making it a win-win solution for all parties involved. As the industry continues to evolve, it is likely that common use will become an even more important trend, helping airlines and airports stay competitive and meet the changing needs of passengers and the environment.

Airport Logistics Facility Management

Alitalia was in desperate need of reducing costs and personnel Image result for official ibm partner logoredundancy around their shipping and logistic facilities when partnering with Etihad investing as a main stakeholder in the company.

Sub-contracted by IBM, our main partners when developing server networks and system nodes, we had the task of engineering and realizing the project.  According to the technical inspection and to the information received, the infrastructure was composed by 28 different systems, separately managed.

Ground Star System for the parking areas occupation scheduling of aircrafts and ground means for logistics.
ADM (Airport Data Management)showing the data coming from Enav Radars and used at the same time for sending information to inbound aircrafts.
Avigilon stream system used for the verification of the parking areas occupational state.
SDK Avigilon application, developed for showing  every single parking position: arrival and departure data inclusive of video stream.
Motorola Tetra System for radio communication via the airport and the Major Handler.

Final Project Build

The following external services have been taken into consideration for further verification of the
flight status : Flightradar24 – Eurocontrol –

The Help System, integrated in the platform manages the following activities;  GPS VehiclesTracking – Events – Tele warning
ADM data coming from ENAV radars

The interface proposes a first overview with the visualization of the status of every system in field and  list of inbound flights.
Automatically the system warns the operator that is necessary to confirm to the control tower the automatically assigned stand.
The operator clicks on the alerted stand and so he sees its actual state (free/occupied) through cameras automatically streaming on location.
When the operator touches the alerted stand, a panel proposes the video stream of the selected stand as well as other information on the flight, as arrival and departure data, departure gate, check-in desk and baggage-handling conveyors.
Clicking on the button on the same panel, the operator can confirm it with a simple touch on the screen and send the data to the control tower.

A time-bar will allow the operator to examine the history of the past 24 hours and the scheduling of the following 4 hours.
Additionally, from the Managing Monitor it will be possible to use the Radio Communication System. The operator will in fact dispose of a panel that will allow him to communicate via chat and / or voice with the operators in the field
Additionally, it will be possible to integrate weather information services and visualize their data on the visualized terminal area.
