Hyderabad airport gets AI-enabled brain to run its operations
Hyderabad: Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) is leveraging advanced technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to streamline operations. Union Minister for Civil Aviation, Kinjarapu Ram Mohan Naidu, inaugurated the Airport Predictive Operations Centre (APOC) at the airport on Wednesday.
Speaking on the occasion, Naidu said the APOC system will be implemented at other airports in the country. He added that the work on completing Warangal airport will be prioritized.
As part of its AI push in the airport operations management, the airport will integrate data such as flights, baggage, handling and security. The APOC, dubbed as the brain of the airport, is a first of its kind at an Indian airport.
The APOC will help the airport authorities and all stakeholders to find information from a single source while ensuring seamless coordination. GMR Airports, which operates the RGIA, is hopeful that the new AI system will play a crucial role in expanding operations at the airport.
