Operational efficiency is a key aspect of smart airports. Advanced technologies enable real-time monitoring and management of airport infrastructure, including air traffic control, baggage handling systems, parking, and facility maintenance. Apart from safety and security, smart airports also prioritize emergency response systems, including real-time incident management, crisis communication, and evacuation procedures.
