Focusing on evaluating the impact of digital technologies on the passenger journey, the team will also concentrate on enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of the Norwegian airport systems.

“The application of digital technologies into aviation is a major focus for the global aviation agenda.”

Additionally, the team will combine different modes of surface transport to evaluate the door-to-door passenger journey and highlight their needs and so-called ‘pain points’.

Considering the costs and benefits of technology deployment, the project will devise decision-making processes and digital solutions to ensure resilient airport systems.

Ultimately, it will identify regulatory and ethical issues and promote the ethical implementation of digital aviation technology.
