Since the beginning of air travel, airports have never stopped evolving, adding more efficient check-in systems, baggage handling capabilities, shops and restaurants.
Some of the innovations of the last decade include renewable power, LED runway lights, electric buses, autonomous vehicles for transporting luggage and even biometric passenger ID. Airports of the future will be modern airport cities, with shops, hotels, leisure facilities, healthcare and easy connections to the amenities of nearby cities. With efficient energy management, digital connections and artificial intelligence, they will focus on safety, efficiency, sustainability and passenger experience.
