SkyCore AODB is a meticulously designed cloud-based solution that excels in managing complex airport operations. It acts as a single source of truth by seamlessly handling and visualising large volumes of intricate data related to flights, passengers, and baggage, across multiple airports in real-time. The software is like “the brain” of an airport acting as a smart computer system that collects and shares important information about everything happening in the airport in real-time. It works by collecting and organising data from various airport systems, presenting it in an easy-to-understand format and supports the collaboration of all stakeholders involved in airport operations. This system allows airport staff to make informed decisions quickly, use resources wisely, and solve problems efficiently, even during busy periods or unexpected events, ensuring smooth operations from check-in to takeoff. Its award-winning interface, tailored for high-pressure environments, supports quick decision-making and error reduction. By utilising familiar digital interaction patterns, SkyCore AODB ensures a minimal learning curve and rapid time-to-value.
SkyCore AODB has been successfully operating the world's busiest airport for over two years, demonstrating its operational capabilities, performance, and robustness. This third-party recognition validates AirportLabs' commitment to revolutionising airport operations through superior design and efficiency.
