Hamad International Airport (HIA) has launched a
‘Digital Twin’ initiative as part of its smart airport program.
The system provides a real-time view of the
airport through a 3D interface, its powerful analytical engine
integrating information from multiple airport systems to provide
intelligent recommendations to help optimize operations.
The development combines 3D modelling techniques,
data-analytics and Artificial Intelligence to enable improved,
faster and data-driven decision making.
The technology manages aircraft stand conflicts,
enables effective responses to alerts and monitors the health of
critical airport assets. Additionally, it effectively utilizes the
right data at the right time to allow optimization of resources to
minimize asset downtime.

“Hamad
International Airport, in conjunction with industry partner SITA,
is actively shaping the future of the airport industry by being
one of the few airports in the world to develop a functioning
digital twin and experiment with challenging use cases, ushering
in a new era of efficiency,” said Suhail Kadri, Senior Vice
President Technology & Innovation at Hamad International Airport. “This one-of-a-kind technology will continue to
mature and radically change how operational teams across the
airport consume information and make decisions. We are delighted
to be first movers in this area and accelerate the adoption of
this breakthrough technology, which will ultimately benefit
passengers, our airline partners and all airport stakeholders.”
The airport industry is increasingly recognizing
the potential of Digital Twin technology to support critical
airport operations. HIA’s Digital Twin initiative has been
recognized as the ‘Smart Solution of the Year’, earning it an
award at the Qatar IT Business Awards.
“Many congratulations to HIA for winning the ‘Smart
Solution of the Year’ award. We’re delighted that our digital twin
technology was part of that win,” said Hani El-Assaad, SITA
President, Middle East and Africa. “Digital twin has huge
potential for airports looking to streamline their operations,
which are hugely complex, involving many stakeholders, assets and
activities. By creating the digital twin of an airport, we can
capture everything that is happening at the airport in a holistic
view. This has enabled HIA to make more informed decisions and
improve their operations.”
