The ten market players in this report and a brief synopsis of their participation in the market are:
Thales, Honeywell, SITA, Amadeus, IBM, Cisco, NEC, Collins Aerospace (RTX), Frequentis, and Hitachi are among the ten major companies shaping the Airport Information Technology market through passenger processing, operations automation, connectivity, and security solutions. Thales delivers integrated air traffic management, passenger flow and baggage systems with strong remote tower and ATM credentials that support airport modernization and safety improvements. Honeywell focuses on smart building, safety, and operational technologies—HVAC, access control, energy management and integrated facility platforms—that improve terminal efficiency and enable predictive maintenance across airport infrastructure. SITA specializes in aviation IT and communications, offering passenger processing, baggage management, self-service kiosks and biometric identity solutions that are widely deployed to streamline passenger journeys and enable global connectivity for airlines and ground handlers.
Amadeus provides comprehensive travel and airport IT platforms spanning reservation-linkage, resource optimization, departure control and analytics to connect airlines, airports and other travel stakeholders for smoother operations and enhanced passenger experience. IBM brings enterprise-grade AI, cloud, IoT and analytics capabilities—leveraging Watson, hybrid cloud and cybersecurity services—to enable intelligent automation, predictive operations and secure data exchange across airport ecosystems. Cisco supplies the networking backbone for digital airports with wireless, intent-based networking, IoT connectivity and secure communications that allow large-scale integration of sensors, cameras, passenger Wi‑Fi and operational systems essential for real-time situational awareness. NEC is prominent in biometric identification and video analytics, delivering facial recognition and surveillance platforms used to accelerate passenger processing, improve security screening and support contactless flows.
Collins Aerospace (RTX) and Frequentis provide critical systems for operational resilience and airside/air traffic integration: Collins Aerospace contributes avionics, baggage systems, and kiosk/terminal hardware often tied to airport IT stacks, while Frequentis supplies communications, voice, and ATM/digital tower solutions that improve controller decision-making and remote tower operations. Hitachi appears across airport technology portfolios with infrastructure automation, analytics and systems integration offerings focused on operational efficiency, predictive maintenance and smart mobility within airport precincts. Collectively these ten firms drive airport IT innovation through modular cloud platforms, biometrics, AI-driven analytics, cybersecurity and networked IoT—enabling airports to reduce dwell times, automate resource allocation, strengthen security posture and scale new passenger services—while competition and partnerships among them accelerate adoption of remote towers, contactless processing and data-driven airport operations.
