By gathering real-time data from all throughout the airport, the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) in Delhi has introduced an AI-enabled system that speeds up airside operations, including landing and takeoff.
An AI-powered airside operations management system called Unified Total Airside Management (UTAM) has been introduced at Delhi Airport. Its goals are to speed up turnaround times, cut down on delays, and enforce airside vehicle speed limits to avoid infractions.
To keep an eye on all airside operations, including the movement of vital vehicles like luggage carts, fuel trucks, and maintenance vehicles, a centralised control room has been established. UTAM will facilitate coordination, guaranteeing smooth aircraft movement from landing to takeoff, parking, and refuelling.
The ability of UTAM to track and monitor aircraft hovering in the airspace, as well as to offer a real-time view of aircraft movements within a 10, 40, and 70-mile radius, is one of its primary features. Important indicators including runway occupancy, taxiing times, taxiway allocations, and the use of luggage trolleys and parking stands will also be monitored. UTAM also makes sure that Ground Support Equipment (GSE) stays on approved routes and maintains speed limits for airside vehicles. Any infractions result in instant alerts, enabling prompt remedial action.
With its AI-driven insights and predictive capabilities, UTAM is a big step towards modernising airside operations at Delhi Airport and enhancing overall performance, safety, and efficiency.
