Your mission

Major international airports are seeing their passenger numbers increase year on year. New technologies also bring with them a whole host of solutions designed to improve the daily lives of millions of passengers and employees. People's behaviour, methods of transport and technology are all constantly changing, meaning that the airport of the future won't necessarily look like the airports we know today.

Airports are located on the periphery of urban areas, and so it's important that in the future, a range of solutions can help to improve interfaces between cities and airports.

It's over to you to reinvent the customer experience in the airports of the future.

Any and all projects that are designed to improve the airport of the future are eligible to take part in the challenge. Bear in mind that we're not asking you for a catalogue of ideas setting out the airport of the future as a whole – instead, we want you to focus on one or several ideas that you've looked into in as much depth as possible and that could be integrated into the airport of the future.

Things to remember

Airports are places that are subject to a number of constraints.

As such, your project must of course be compatible with the wide range of security regulations surrounding airports.

It will need to take into account the fact that airports are multicultural places visited by people of all ages, some of whom have limited mobility or disabilities.

Several kinds of people visit airports: travellers, people who are accompanying travellers, employees, people catching connecting flights, and people who are arriving at or leaving the airport. Your project should improve the airport experience for one or several of these groups.

The airport of the future needs to be eco-friendly and include a focus on sustainable development.
