EDITORIAL GARY MASON, EDITOR:

REGIONAL AIRPORTS: THE COST OF REMAINING COMPETITIVE The recent withdrawal of Ryanair from Glasgow was a blow to the UK regional airport network

M

ost of the larger players in the aviation industry pay lip service to the notion that regional airports are a vital cog in the transport network yet the struggle among those airports for a larger QEVOIX WLEVI FIXXIV TVSǻXEFMPMX] QSVI HMVIGX PSRK LEYP ǼMKLXW ERH E WYWXEMREFPI WYTTSVXMRK road and rail infrastructure are as hard today as they have ever been.

While the larger hubs operating at almost full capacity in some cases watch calmly as carriers form an orderly queue for sort-after landing slots, regional airports are constantly looking over their shoulder as new summer and winter schedules are announced - particularly within the volatile low cost carrier market.

As pointed out in this issue’s regional airports feature (see page 32) within the UK we have seen the growth in LCCs operating out of regional airports with Manchester, Birmingham, LeedsBradford, East Midlands, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Bristol and Southampton being most notable.

But uncertainly over Brexit - with some dark warnings by LCC giant Ryanair – and the need to remain a competitively priced option for LCCs and their savings motivated customers, can see market place footholds disappear at the drop of a hat.

Last month Ryanair announced it would be closing its base at Glasgow Airport. The number of routes operated from the airport [MPP FI GYX JVSQ XS XLVII [MXL ǻZI FIMRK transferred to Edinburgh.

Ryanair said it had run out of patience waiting for the Scottish Government to

reduce Air Passenger Duty (APD) tax after ministers promised it would be halved.

Glasgow Airport said it was “bitterly disappointed” and there was "no doubt" the failure to replace APD with a cheaper air departure tax (ADT) in Scotland was behind the move The withdrawal from Glasgow will mean that 300 indirect jobs could be lost with a potential fall in around 500,000 passengers.

On a more positive note the bold plan announced recently for the expansion of )SRGEWXIV LIǽIPH &MVTSVX XS GVIEXI E RI[ Aerotropolis in the north of England, is a [IPGSQI FMH XS HIGIRXVEPMWI ǼMKLXW XS ERH from the UK from London.

A key component of the Vision is the addition of an airport rail station connected to the East Coast Mainline; requiring only 7 miles of new track, which could be open in NYWX ǻZI ]IEVWƶ XMQI The station would provide a direct rail link to London and Newcastle in under 90 minutes travel time. It would also be connected to major regional centres such EW LIǽIPH 1IIHW ERH -YPP 9T XS QMPPMSR people living within a 90 minute journey time would have access to the airport by public transport, an increase of 6.6m.

This will give passengers who don’t want to brave the M4 and M25, another option of going somewhere else other than London to GEXGL XLIMV ǼMKLX 'YX [MPP XLI 1((W TVSZMHI XLI routes and network options that will make the project a success?

According to a new survey published this month on progress in meeting IATA’s Resolution 753 baggage tracking initiative, just over a third of airlines expect to have achieved full compliance with the June 2018 deadline and a little over half said they would be partially compliant. But airports and airlines are looking to new technologies, including Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help them catch up. Gary Mason reports

BAGGAGE TRACKING

I

ATA Resolution 753 places a clear requirement on airlines to track all passenger bags with a deadline on compliance set for June this year.

In previous articles published in Airport Focus International we have looked at the practical implications of complying with Resolution 753, the impact on airports and ground handling operations and the emergence of technologies such as RFID tags and readers, which will aid compliance.

Vendors and equipment suppliers writing in our experts forum section have pointed out that in order to meet the mandate sharing of data between airlines is a key topic. In their recent implementation guide, IATA gave a clear message that airlines are required to exchange tracking points with their interline partners when interlinMRK FEKW 8LI ǻVWX XLMRK XS MHIRXMJ] MW XLI TSMRX EX which a bag changes custody from one airline to another. Vendors have pointed out that airport operators can help with this by agreeing with the airlines the point at which responsibility for the bag is handed over – for instance, at the transfer

The much talked about predicted growth in global air passengers will certainly place more pressure on baggage tracking systems. But as IATA’s Director General and CEO, Alexandre de Juniac, has observed, the solution to address future growth in air passenger numbers will not lie in building larger airports or developing more complex processes. It will require airlines and airports to harness new technologies to QSZI EGXMZMXMIW SǺ EMVTSVX WXVIEQPMRI TVSGIWWIW ERH MQTVSZI IǽGMIRG] The bag tracking data that will be generated and collected under Resolution 753 will provide

the air transport community with a rich stream of data. This can be combined with AI tools such as machine learning, robotics and predicXMZI EREP]XMGW XS GVIEXI KVIEXIV IǽGMIRGMIW MR baggage operations and, ultimately, to improve passenger experience.

A new report on the impact of Resolution 753 and the technologies that will drive it was published in March by SITA. According to the report - Intelligent Tracking: a Baggage Management Revolution - just over a third of airlines expected to have achieved full compliance with Resolution 753 and a little over half said they would be partially compliant.

However, their ability to track bags by the June deadline is likely to be more advanced than these top-line results suggest. At the time of the last SITA IT Trends survey, published in the spring of last year, close to half of the world’s airlines could only track bags across a quarter of their network, however 60% of airlines predicted they would be able to track across more than three quarters of their network by June 2018.

The majority of airlines are working towards achieving compliance by the end of the year.

By then half, or more, will have deployed new tracking equipment, will be collecting more data from existing bag handling systems and will have asked airports to deploy new tracking capabilities according to SITA’s latest estimates.

But there are some critical challenges the SITA report warns. Tracking baggage from endto-end across the journey presents a number of challenges and these are complicated by the number of destinations at which each airline operates. At the departure airport, a bag will pass from the airline and its check-in agents XS WIGYVMX] TIVWSRRIP EMVTSVX WXEǺ ERH KVSYRH handlers as it is security screened, transported via the airport baggage handling system and loaded onto the aircraft. At the destination airport, a similar process takes place in reverse before the bag reaches the arrivals bag carousel to be collected by the passenger.

However, if that journey involves one or www.airportfocusinternational.com

QSVI GSRRIGXMRK ǼMKLXW XVERWJIVVMRK PYKKEKI between aircraft adds another layer of complexity and a potential pinch point that can delay bags. Transfer is the most challenging touchpoint in the tracking process according to nine out of ten airlines. Tight or missed transfer connections can have an immediate impact on baggage delivery and this journey stage accounts for the majority of all delayed bags.

While bag scanning technologies are in place at a variety of stages along the journey, tracking bags at arrival will be a new element for many airlines and their airport partners. Four SYX SJ ǻZI EMVPMRIW LMKLPMKLX EVVMZEPW EW E TEVXMGYlarly challenging tracking touchpoint.

The report shows that Investment in baggage processing is a high priority for more than half of the world’s airports and number four in their list of top investment areas. Airports are investigating new technologies to support baggage services, with around half planning to pump funds into RFID and digital tags over the

next three years. For the most part these will be pilot programs.

More than half of all airports have received requests from airlines to facilitate Resolution 753 compliance: up to a third have received requests to enhance current bag tracking equipment, provide existing bag tracking data, and deploy new tracking capabilities.

New airports, such as Istanbul New Airport, [LMGL MW VIEH]MRK JSV XLI ǻVWX TLEWI SJ STIRMRK in 2018, are seizing the opportunity to ensure their baggage operations can provide the required bag tracking facilities from the outset.

Initially Istanbul New Airport will have the capacity to accommodate 90 million passengers annually, rising to over 200 million passengers TIV ]IEV SR GSQTPIXMSR SJ XLI JSYVXL ERH ǻREP phase.

In response to requests from airlines to provide Baggage Processing Messages (BPMs) for both arrival and departure bags, the airport has added additional RFID readers throughout its baggage handling system to increase track points. Hong Kong has also implemented a platform for the distribution of BPMs to airlines for arrival baggage reconciliation and an arrival bag scanning service will be launched in Q3 2018.

According to Chris Au Young one of the challenges is for airlines is to provide terminating BSMs (Baggage Source Messages) and BMMs (Baggage Manifest Messages) to facilitate the arrival baggage reconciliation process and the

airport is doing everything it can to support this. “We also developed a trolley management system that uses machine learning techniques, image-based technologies and existing surveillance CCTV cameras to monitor baggage trolley availability,â€? he says. “With over 12,000 trolleys moving around the terminals and transportation center and over 100 trolley pick up points, timely recirculating to ensure these TMGOYT TSMRXW EVI EP[E]W ÇťPPIH MW E GLEPPIRKMRK task.

These technologies are already deployed to some degree. For example, sortation systems automate the movement of bags from landside to airside and handlers are deploying robotic loaders and unloaders to further automate the process. However, driver-operated vehicles currently take bags between the sortation system and the aircraft.

IATA’s vision is that ground service equipment such as autonomous baggage tugs will be commonplace within a decade. It also notes use cases for autonomous vehicles to be deployed in baggage handling, such as robotic

SCHMIDT’S NEW MULTI-FUNCTIONAL COMPACT JET SWEEPER TACKLES THE TOUGHEST WINTER CONDITIONS

A

ebi Schmidt’s new multi-functional CJS-DI compact jet sweeper, complete with additional spreader, sprayer or combi de-icer unit, is ideal for clearing the sort of thick snow and ice we have seen at many of our airports this winter.

It has also undergone trials at airports in Europe this winter where it has been able to demonstrate its snow and ice clearing capabilities from airGVEJX TEVOMRK EVIEW XE\M[E]W ERH XEOI SǺ ERH landing areas.

The Schmidt CJS-DI combines several operations in one.

– in summer and in winter. The advantages are obvious. On the one hand, maximum machine utilisation is achieved, while on the other, long periods of inaction can be avoided, thus imTVSZMRK STIVEXMRK IǽGMIRGMIW It is easy to operate, too. An integrated control panel complete with graphic colour display allows for the synchronized steering of the plough, brush, blower and auxiliary spreader or sprayer to achieve optimum snow clearance and outstanding de-icing results.

Furthermore, the access to and layout of the components has been optimised, hugely reducing the servicing and maintenance costs, with lower servicing times and high machine availability.

Aebi Schmidt used information from the market in the development of the CJS-DI multi-functional jet sweeper, analysing a range SJ HMǺIVIRX JIIHFEGO JVSQ XLI QEVOIX ERH XLIR implementing it.

The new machine is built according to the modular principle. This means that, depending on the customer’s requirement, it is possible to choose between a mounted spreader, sprayer or a combined device.

At the same time, the CJS-DI is based on

Roch Muraine, Global Sales Director, Transport at AlcatelLucent Enterprise, looks at current and future technologies that are moving us towards a multimodal transportation system to create a fully connected experience for air passengers, and how these trends are set to disrupt the way we travel forever.

T

he technology to create seamless or connected multimodal transportation exists, but many services are still being delivered to the end customer in a disconnected, piecemeal way. A journey to and from the airport might involve switching from a bus to a taxi and then the airplane, with tickets purchased for each separate stage from the HMǺIVIRX XVERWTSVX STIVEXSVW In order to improve airport services and keep up with the huge growth in air passenger numbers, we need to look at new ways to streamline services for travellers and simplify the provision of services for airport operators.

THE CONNECTED EXPERIENCE – WE’RE ALREADY ON OUR WAY The multimodal experience starts on a passenger’s smartphone. There are already travel planning apps and websites for modes of transportation, times and costs to help get passengers to and from the airport, but even these are done through separate providers and intermodal systems.

Smart and e-ticketing are also here. From smartphone boarding passes to contactless GEVH QEGLMRIW XLI RI\X WXIT [MPP FI XS SǺIV one ticket for all travel.

The technology has the potential to create a seamless journey for passengers by cutting the time taken for security checks, check-in and boarding.

But in order to achieve fully multimodal travel, transportation systems need to be connected both physically and operationally.

A BRIGHT FUTURE FOR AIRPORTS While the cost benefit of new LED systems are compelling, the upgrade across an airport estate can be daunting. Darren Riva, Northern European Zumtobel Group Services Director, looks at the advantages of a lighting as a service contract

NOTEBOOK | LIGHTING AS A SERVICE

H

istorically, many airports have regarded lighting as nothing more than a legacy burden, an annual cost drain considered too costly and too disruptive to tackle. But a new mindset is emerging. Airport leaders are embracing the new idea of lighting as a service, whereby the future performance of the lighting solution is ensured by the supplier, and where no capital outlay is required.

From our discussions with airport executives ERH SYV I\TIVMIRGI MR XLI ǻIPH [I ORS[ XLEX lighting maintenance is a major bug-bear for the sector. A lighting as a service model eliminates such frustrations because the model is not about simply selling luminaries but about guaranteeing future lighting performance. Such a service IREFPIW EMVTSVXW XS FIRIǻX JVSQ 1*) XIGLRSPogy – and from future developments - without the hassle of owning and operating the lighting solution themselves. The model is paid for by savings generated from day one of installation.

With the Winter Olympics and Six Nations now behind us, the world is gearing up for more major sporting action during the upcoming Commonwealth Games and Football World Cup. Events like these bring countless commercial opportunities for airport retailers, particularly those from the host nations, but there are pitfalls too. At this crucial time, flexibility matters more than ever, as Colin Dixon operations director at point-of-sale specialist CJ Retail Solutions, explains.

Keeping the shelves fully stocked – but not cluttered – immediately makes the shop look more attractive, while helping to avoid lost sales from shoppers actively seeking out these goods.

Store planners also need to think about how PMKLXMRK [MPP MRǼYIRGI TYVGLEWMRK HIGMWMSRW especially if they are located in a part of the airport with no natural daylight.

PASSENGER EXPERIENCE

TIME WATCH AT THE TERMINAL

Baggage free airports, redesigned passenger seats and airport waiting areas and a passenger flow forecasting system are three of the innovations to emerge from an EU-funded research project designed to reduce door to door aviation travel time by one hour.

Gary Mason reports on the research findings revealed at the recent Passenger Terminal Expo event in Stockholm

P

ASSME stands for Personalised Airport Systems for Seamless Mobility and Experience. Launched in June 2015, the initiative will come to an end on May 31 this year and the results are now being shared with the industry in the hope that they will be adopted widely.

PASSME aims to reduce door-to-door unwanted air travel time in the EU by 60 minutes and make the airport experience less stressful and more enjoyable for passengers and the aviation industry. Funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme, PASSME brings together experts in aviation, transport, research, design, technology and communications.

Researchers from the project revealed a number of new innovations to reduce air travel time at the Passenger Terminal Expo, Stockholm in March. These included: adjustable aircraft seats, luggage free airports and passenger forecasting systems .

PASSME researchers say if implemented unwanted air travel times could be reduced by sixty minutes, allowing passengers greater choice for what they do with their time &R MQTSVXERX ǻRHMRK JVSQ XLI 5& 2* project is that end-to-end baggage transportaXMSR WIVZMGIW GER WMKRMǻGERXP] VIHYGI XVEZIP XMQI by separating all types of luggage, as much as possible, from the passenger.

“This simple measure can reduce unwanted time in the airport,” said Katinka Bergema, PASSME researcher.

“Transporting luggage to the airport, checking it in (either at a manned desk or using a self-service kiosk) and then waiting for it at the baggage carousel in the arrival airport all adds to the stress of air travel. By simply deploying a courier company like TNT to pick up your luggage either at home, hotel or other location and return it to you when you have arrived at your destination, passengers can make WMKRMǻGERX WEZMRKW SR YR[ERXIH XMQI WTIRX EX XLI EMVTSVX 8LI FIRIǻXW EVI RS GLIGO MR FEK XS carry, no queuing at airports to check in bags, and no waiting at baggage reclaim,” she added.

There are currently approximately ten companies worldwide providing this service.

PASSME researchers said some hotels have IZIR FIKYR SǺIVMRK FEKKEKI LERHPMRK EW ER ancillary service, meaning you don’t have to check into your hotel because your luggage does it for you.

The PASSME research project has also shown that hand luggage is causing trouble while boarding. As PASSME learned, in most European aircraft, only two thirds of the passengers can store their luggage in the overhead bins.

Here also, PASSME showed solutions to detect excess hand luggage as early as possible in the passenger journey. These solutions also contrib-

ute to a more positive experience of passengers.

Tax free articles are a special phenomenon.

Most of the time these articles are used at LSQI EJXIV XLI VIXYVR ǼMKLX S 5& 2* HIveloped a home delivery system, like ordinary web shop deliveries. As these solutions do not contribute to time and experience as much as hold and hand luggage, PASSME left these solutions to the market to further develop and pick up opportunities.

The conclusion of this breakthrough is that separating all types of luggage as much as possible, from the passenger. is helping a positive passenger experience and is reducing door to door travel time.

PASSME researchers have also come up with a novel way to design aircraft interiors to speed up the boarding and disembarking process.

“We looked at an Airbus 737 and invented adjustable seats,” said André Castro from PASSME partner, Alma Design.

“The three seats next to one another on the aeroplane are able to contract, making the aisle wider, allowing passengers to board more UYMGOP] ERH IǽGMIRXP] 4RGI IZIV]SRI MW SR the seats can expand to their normal posiXMSR 8LMW GER WMKRMǻGERXP] VIHYGI XYVR EVSYRH time, saving time for passengers, airlines and airports.” he added.

“The system uses information collected by advanced sensors at the airport for example through Wi-Fi, bluetooth, and from adaptive personalised devices. This allows the airport to identify areas where queues are likely to build up,” explains MGGS ERXIQE 5& 2* GMIRXMǻG (SSVHMREXSV and Professor of Business Marketing and Supply Management at Delft University of Technology.

Europe is home to approximately 150 scheduled passenger airlines and 450 airports, supporting over 750 million passengers each year.

Worldwide passenger numbers are expected to double in the next twenty years.

PASSME researchers have also developed an application that will let the passengers know XLI XMQI SJ ǼMKLX HITEVXYVI XLI [EPOMRK XMQI to their gate, the location of retail outlets and concessions, and will guide them to the correct boarding gate.

“With the user’s approval, we’re also able to monitor heart rate and temperature, and gauge a passenger’s stress level. Then we can use that data to inform other elements such as the passenger demand forecast system to reduce queues,” said Professor Santema.
