Airfield Insights

Runways, taxiways and aprons are expensive airfield assets and are becoming increasingly constrained, so it’s never been more important to monitor and measure airfield activity to continually improve airfield performance. 

Airfield Insights brings operational performance to life like never before through interactive maps, data overlays, charts and data tables to consistently measure performance for an accurate baseline of an airport’s performance.

Airfield Insights is based on an individual digital twin of your airfield, ensuring every movement is captured and turned into meaningful datapoints for onward reporting, unique non-operational situational awareness and future resilience.

Offered either as an add-on to existing Searidge customers or as a standalone solution for new clients, this versatile solution enhances airport operations by delivering dependable, high-quality surveillance and operational insights in a user-friendly and easily accessible format.

Measure, Analyze, Improve

What isn’t measured, isn’t optimized. Introduce performance measurement through KPI’s and data-driven insights to enhance airfield awareness and support smarter decision-making for all airport stakeholders. 

Benefits

Web-accessible for ground, tower, and back-office teams to enable informed tactical and strategic decisions.

Near real-time situational awareness of the airfield operation for all stakeholders.

Seamlessly aggregate data from multiple sources, centralizing and correlating data for streamlined analysis and reporting.

Extended decision-making window with early alerts to manage emerging irregular operations (IROPs).

Identify trends based on historic data analysis and comparisons, enabling continuous improvement activities.

Enables airport management from a central operations control center (OCC, APOC, IOC).

Improved stakeholder collaboration through consistent, measurable data, charts and historic event playback of a scenario.

Features

  • Real time and historic operational performance tracking and monitoring via 1000’s of individual data points and events per flight. 
  • Map overlays eliminate performance blind spots by highlighting ground holding hotspots, asset utilization (e.g., runway exit efficiency), and taxi routes.
  • Interactive performance charts/graphs with advanced filtering by airline, aircraft type, runway used and more for targeted, data driven improvements. 
  • Compare today’s performance against planned baselines and historical data, enabling proactive adjustments, improved efficiency, and more informed decision-making
  • Real-time, proactive alerting provides suggestions for improvements or warnings of early irregular operations (IROPs) for action. 
  • Report outputs allow easy sharing of information for improved collaboration
  • Scalable platform for wider data integration to maximise accuracy of data, powered by the Searidge Platform
  • Cyber secure by design: Data privacy is a top priority, assured through rigorous independent 3rd party testing, comprehensive risk assessments and the use of the latest security technologies.

Data At Your Finger Tips

In airfield operations, precise data measurement and a commitment to continuous improvement are essential for optimizing performance and ensuring safety. Every minute of delay actively impacts customer and airline satisfaction in addition to airline profits, underscoring the critical need for efficient operations.

By leveraging Airfield Insights automated data analytics, airports can identify bottlenecks, streamline processes, and enhance resource allocation routinely. This data-driven approach enables better slot management, maximizes runway throughput, and ensures consistent airline operations.

In an era of increasingly constrained airside infrastructure, staying ahead of operational challenges through data insights is more important than ever, not only improves passenger satisfaction but also supports airport growth and profitability through reliable, consistent operations.

The Analytics Display with advanced filtering options provides you with the tools and data needed to monitor, analyze, and optimize operational performance with more effective, targeted stakeholder collaboration and engagement.

Airfield analytics covers datapoints across flexible modules related to Runway, Ground, Environmental and Safety, aligned to global airport analytics trends and focus areas, ensuring consistent measurement and prioritization.
