to make sure that all the starting and landing aircraft find the right positions , the right stand - in order to let the passengers get out , to let the airports refuel and clean , load and unload the aircraft ,” says Wolfgang Standhaft , Chief Information Officer at Fraport AG . “ And at the same time , you have to make sure that there is no collision between the vehicles running around the airport .”
Standhaft also stresses the number of alternative activities that take place around the airport , such as the management and maintenance of more than 80,000 parking lots and thousands of digital devices within its ecosystems . These all require reliable , sophisticated IT solutions to be implemented before airports can begin optimising certain processes .
