Hyderabad's Rajiv Gandhi International Airport has become the first in India to implement an AI-powered digital twin system. This innovation, known as the Airport Predictive Operation Centre (APOC), aims to streamline operations by integrating airside, landside, and terminal functions into a cohesive unit. The system uses real-time data to optimize decision-making and minimize disruptions.

SGK Kishore, Executive Director South and Chief Innovation Officer at GMR Airports, stated that "GMR Group is leading the aviation industry with cutting-edge technological innovations, focusing on significantly enhancing passenger experiences." He added that their new AI-enabled platform "sets new standards in modernizing operations and elevating passenger satisfaction."

The APOC technology is set to be introduced at other airports managed by GMR Group across India. It promises improvements in several areas such as intelligent crowd management, flow and queue analytics, passenger experience analytics, real-time insights, and behavior analytics.

For airport operations specifically, APOC will employ virtual simulations for various scenarios to enhance efficiency. It will also utilize smart traffic monitoring and IoT Analytics for better traffic planning and road safety.

The use of artificial intelligence in aviation is expanding globally. Recently, San Antonio International Airport implemented AI for its parking system. Alaska Airlines has been testing an optimization tool for flight scheduling following earlier technical issues. London Heathrow Airport is experimenting with AIMEE, an AI system designed to assist air traffic controllers by integrating radar and video data.

This trend reflects the broader potential of AI in transforming commercial aviation from baggage handling to weather prediction.
