Let’s build the journey of the future

Watch the on-ground travel journey of the future

What does the future hold for air travel?

Air transport is not just about the flight, it’s about the complete journey from home to end destination.

We are working to ensure the transport of passengers, baggage and cargo benefits from the latest technology developments to improve the customer experience, reliability and efficiency.

Examine some of the most probable elements that will transform the complete end to end journey over the next 20 years. Some progressive airlines, airports, service providers and cargo handlers are already trialing these new concepts, some of which will be fully operational from as early as 2020.

Consider the future as these concepts develop from ideas to fully advanced solutions which we will all take for granted as part of our normal travel journey.

Our Objectives

1. Create industry level consensus of the concepts for future airports

2. Determine R&D, standardization or regulatory development needs

3. Roll-out work streams to facilitate making the concepts a reality'

Collaborate with us

This is a true industry level initiative. Working with associations, airlines, agents, airports, service providers, and manufacturers to demonstrate individual concepts, making the best use of initiatives from our full array of working groups and committees.
