Summary
High-Tech Terminals | A summer of travel chaos has underscored the urgency of digital innovations that streamline and speed up the airport journey, from check-in to boarding and beyond. Operators are investing in artificial-intelligence-enabled (AI) biometrics, intuitive digital wayfinding and virtual queuing systems to minimise future disruption. |
Wellbeing Worlds: Stress, Sleep & Accessibility | While hygiene protocols continue to be important, leading airports are attending to numerous holistic health concerns – from reducing anxiety and supporting sleep, to improving accessibility for people with disabilities. With 87% of global travellers wanting private relaxation spaces in terminals, wellness-centric lounges are flourishing (Collinson, 2021). |
Crafting a Sense of Place | Airports can serve as a compelling window into regional or national cultures for experience-hungry travellers. Recognising this, several recent launches diverge from a homogenous, sterile aesthetic in favour of bespoke, localised décor. Food and beverage propositions focusing on locally sourced produce similarly help kickstart or extend the tourism experience. |
Keeping Up with Climate Change | While the race is on to develop cleaner aviation fuels – and architects feud over the ethics of participating in airport projects – tomorrow’s terminal buildings must recentre sustainability. Embodied carbon architecture, rainfall harvesting and renewable energy microgrids are among the features aiming to cut environmental footprints. |
