Panel discussion: Airport infrastructure – everything old is new again!

In an airport asset renewal program operational readiness is essential to ensure minimal disruption, operational continuity and stakeholder alignment during the replacement or upgrade of critical infrastructure. ORAT teams focus on meticulously planning and executing the transition phases, validating operational performance and preparing personnel for the new systems or facilities. This structured approach reduces risks associated with phasing, maintains passenger experience and ensures that existing operations are seamlessly integrated with new assets. ORAT's emphasis on communication and training enables airport staff to adapt efficiently, promoting a smooth handover and sustainable long-term operations.

The audience will learn:

• Minimize disruption: best practices to ensure seamless transitions, reducing operational impact during asset upgrades or facility renewals
• Operational continuity: focus on maintaining uninterrupted airport operations while integrating new systems or infrastructure
• Risk management: identify and mitigate risks associated with complex asset renewal projects, ensuring safety and efficiency
• Stakeholder engagement: coordinate communication among diverse stakeholders to align expectations and maintain project transparency
• Training and adaptation: prepare staff for new processes and technologies, enabling efficient adaptation and sustained operational excellence
