Transform Airport Operations with AI-Driven Optimization Powered by SAS
Improve on-time performance, streamline passenger movement, and elevate airport efficiency with OTSI + SAS advanced analytics.
Optimize Airport Turnaround Time & Passenger Flow with OTSI + SAS
Airports today face pressure on two critical fronts — aircraft turnaround efficiency on the apron and passenger movement inside the terminal. Delays in either area directly affect airline confidence, passenger satisfaction, airport revenues, and sustainability goals.
The OTSI–SAS Airport Optimization Solutions address both challenges through predictive, operationally driven solutions that help airports shift from reactive firefighting to proactive, data-led control across airside and terminal operations.
The Operational Challenges Airports Face Today :
Unpredictable Aircraft Turnarounds:
Delays in fueling, catering, cleaning, and baggage handling often surface too late, resulting in gate congestion, missed slots, and poor On-Time Performance (OTP).
Passenger Congestion & Queues Rise:
Security, immigration, check-in, and boarding experience frequent overcrowding due to poor forecasting and reactive staffing.
Fragmented Operational Visibility :
Airside teams, terminal teams, airlines, GHAs, and ATC operate on disconnected systems, preventing a single, real-time view of airport operations.
Underutilized High-Value Assets:
Gates, GSE, security lanes, and staff are either over-used or under-used due to lack of demand-driven planning.
Rising Costs & Sustainability Pressure:
Fuel burn, APU usage, overtime staffing, and inefficient passenger handling increase OpEx while airports face Net Zero mandates.
Missed Commercial Revenue Potential:
Poor passenger flow reduces dwell time in retail and F&B areas, directly impacting non-aeronautical revenue.
Aircraft Turnaround Optimization
Turning Every Minute on Ground into Predictable Performance
Key Problems Solved:
- Unplanned turnaround delays.
- Gate congestion and slot violations.
- Poor coordination between ground teams.
- High fuel burn and workforce overtime.
How the Solution Helps:
- Predicts turnaround delays in advance to enable proactive action.
- Monitors every turnaround activity in real time from arrival to departure.
- Optimizes gate, GSE, and manpower allocation based on real demand.
- Creates a shared operational view for airlines, GHAs, ATC, and airport teams.
- Reduces APU usage and fuel waste for stronger sustainability outcomes.
Business Outcomes:
- Improved On-Time Performance (OTP)
- Higher gate and asset utilization
- Lower operational expenditure
- Reduced carbon emissions
Airport Passenger Flow Optimization
Predicting, Preventing & Managing Terminal Congestion
Key Problems Solved:
- Long queues at security, immigration, and check-in.
- Reactive staff deployment.
- Poor queue visibility.
- Lost retail and F&B revenue.
How the Solution Helps:
- Monitors passenger movement and queue lengths in real time.
- Forecasts passenger demand accurately from minutes to weeks ahead.
- Optimizes staffing and counter allocation based on predicted flow.
- Simulates disruptions and special scenarios before they occur.
- Improves passenger movement through commercial zones to increase spend.
Business Outcomes:
- 15–25% reduction in passenger wait times
- 5–10% workforce cost optimization
- 3–7% increase in non-aeronautical revenue
- Improved ASQ and passenger satisfaction scores
