Berlin Brandenburg Airport has introduced a ‘Digital Turnaround System’ utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI).
By leveraging live cameras and self-learning AI-based software, the operation of aircraft is analyzed in real time. In cases of delays, recommended actions are suggested to the control center, optimizing the workflow on aircraft and enhancing punctuality and efficiency.
Volker Wissing, Minister for Transport and Digital Infrastructure, said that “to remain competitive on an international level, the aviation sector needs artificial intelligence.” He further mentioned that AI could address staff shortages and optimize the use of limited infrastructure, thereby reducing costs in the long term.
This system has been introduced for the first time in Germany, with cameras installed at 16 spots near the terminal in the first phase. An additional 33 spots will be added during the summer. The ‘TurnaroundControl’ system by Assaia is being implemented.
During the summer schedule, Berlin Brandenburg Airport will see 68 airlines operating flights to 148 cities in 49 countries. Services by Ryanair, Eurowings, and easyJet are set to expand.
