CAA Partners with Beonic to Improve Passenger Flow Using AI

The Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand (CAA) is collaborating with technology company Beonic to implement an AI-based passenger flow management system. This system focuses on enhancing security screening efficiency at airports.

Beonic’s platform uses real-time data and predictive analytics to optimize staff allocation and forecast passenger demand. This helps airport operations run more smoothly and respond proactively to fluctuating passenger volumes.

Enhancing Passenger Communication and Security Operations

The AI system also supports targeted communication with passengers by delivering timely and relevant information, which can reduce wait times and improve overall passenger experience. This approach helps airport management stay ahead of bottlenecks and maintain security standards.

Data-Driven Insights with Privacy Compliance

Beyond operational improvements, the collaboration provides airports with anonymized insights into passenger flow patterns, behaviors, and aggregated demographic trends. These insights comply with privacy regulations, allowing management to make informed decisions without compromising passenger data security.

CAA has started working with airport companies to facilitate technology installation, though specific airports using the system have not yet been announced.
