Understanding how passengers move through the airport, and how those patterns vary by flight, is key to making the best operational and customer service decisions. But most airports are not equipped to do this.
Manchester Airport Group is leading the way with a comprehensive IOT and digitisation strategy to improve its understanding of customers’ movements and needs – right across each of its three UK airports.
The speakers will present how MAG is harnessing data from every passenger-related process, from curb to gate, to reduce congestion, cut wait times, grow retail income and improve operational performance.

  • How rich insights into the passenger journey, tracked by flight, can help influence guest behaviour, build more accurate plans and improve operational efficiency
  • How building a data-driven customer experience requires putting actionable insights directly into staff hands, where and when they need it.
  • How to get started: Plan for scalability, start at the optimal point of impact and build trust with stakeholders.
