Prague Airport has won this year’s SESAR JU-ACI Europe Digital Transformation Award. The airport was recognised at the annual ACI EUROPE Best Airport Awards during the ACI EUROPE / World Annual General Assembly, Conference and Exhibition, which took place in Barcelona on 28 June.
Prague Airport is the fourth airport to be awarded the prize, which celebrates airports which have successfully embraced digitalisation, adopting innovative technologies and procedures to improve the safety, capacity, efficiency and environmental footprint of its airside operations.
Prague Airport impressed the judges with its exemplary digital transformation achievements, having deployed several SESAR solutions. The airport has been an early adopter of key solutions, such as the Airport Operations Plan and Airport Operations Centre, and leads the way in terms of future mobility with initiatives on urban air mobility and inter-modality. It has adapted these to its local needs and benefited from adopting the latest digital innovation and technologies, such as machine learning and data integration. This approach has been rewarded with significant increases in the airport’s operational safety and efficiency.
Prague Airport recently joined the SESAR family as founding member of the SESAR 3 Joint Undertaking.
Rome Fiumicino Airport, a previous winner of the award, was also highly commended in this category.
