In a move that underscores King Khalid International Airport’s commitment to innovation and excellence in the aviation sector, Riyadh Airports Company has announced the launch of a Turnaround Management System. This system leverages artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies and represents one of the region’s pioneering projects to enhance airport and airfield operation management. It is developed in collaboration with Saudi-based MasterWorks, a leader in advanced technologies.
AI Summit in Riyadh: A Platform for Unveiling Innovations
The announcement was made during Riyadh Airports’ participation in the Global AI Summit, hosted by the Saudi Authority for Data and Artificial Intelligence (SDAIA) in Riyadh. The summit, held from September 10 to 12, served as a platform for exchanging ideas and advancements in the field of artificial intelligence. Here, King Khalid International Airport’s role stood out as it presented innovative solutions to boost operational efficiency across regional airports.
Advancing Efficiency and Safety with Cutting-Edge Technologies
The new system aims to improve operational efficiency and achieve the highest safety standards on the airfield. By recording and analyzing more than 30 operational processes related to aircraft, from their arrival at the stand to the final preparatory procedures, the system reduces the likelihood of errors and delays. This is achieved through advanced technologies such as video analytics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning, ensuring precise performance metric measurement.
Leading in Technological Innovation and Digital Transformation
With the implementation of this system, King Khalid International Airport becomes the first in the Middle East to adopt this cutting-edge technology, reinforcing its status as a global innovation hub in the aviation and airport sectors. The system aids in optimizing resource planning and efficient deployment of working teams, as well as providing valuable analytical data that assist in forecasting and planning during special conditions and peak seasons.
The Essence of Innovation in Saudi Aviation
The launch of the Turnaround Management System marks a critical step towards realizing King Khalid International Airport’s vision of adopting the latest technologies to support its future aspirations. This innovation reflects the airport’s commitment to achieving the highest standards of efficiency and safety, placing it at the forefront of airports relying on artificial intelligence to enhance operational processes. With this system, King Khalid International Airport sets a model for digital transformation and innovation in the global aviation sector.
Through this development, King Khalid International Airport strengthens its leadership in leveraging artificial intelligence technologies for tangible improvements in aviation operations, supporting the Kingdom’s aspirations towards digital transformation and sustainable innovation across diverse fields.
