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.
