| Asset and infrastructure restart | Arup | Adapting to a COVID-19 world – Acting now. Preparing for tomorrow.
We understand that nearly all capital programmes have been suspended. Greater clarity on the trajectory of recovery is needed before new, robust plans can be defined but we are supporting airports who are using ready access to assets to bring forward maintenance programmes, establish digital twins and improve their asset management programmes including assessing the effectiveness of ventilation systems in order to understand how air-transported pathogens can move through buildings, enabling the design of infection-controlled spaces and adding to our understanding of overall infection risk. We continue to measure our impact on society, the environment and the economy using the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals as a framework. These goals compel us to act for the long-term and think about how we collaborate with our clients to drive positive and sustainable change. Some of the short-term changes we expect to see – more use of cars, less use of public transport, to reach an airport – are but small examples of the wider challenges that airports will face. Whether it is noise, air quality, carbon, or surface access, we are drawing these themes together to help you plan for a sustainable future. Together we will shape a better world. |

| Asset and infrastructure restart | Cyrrus Ltd | CAA and EASA place ultimate accountability for the oversight of aviation fuel activities at an airport with the Airport Operator. Where 3rd parties are used for the management of fuel facilities at an airport they will be responsible for the majority of the recovery and restart activities associated with the resumption of widescale aircraft fuelling. However, it is strongly recommended that the Airport Operator ensures that they are engaged as a key stakeholder with any 3rd Party fuel company plans to ensure that they are suitably aligned with the wider airport restart and recovery activities. In some cases, primarily smaller airports, the Airport Company may be directly responsible for fuelling.
Cyrrus and its Associates between them have over 100 years of experience in managing product quality matters in aviation fuel and can provide airports with accurate and impartial support. |

| Asset and infrastructure restart | Geobear Ltd | At this challenging time for revenue and capital expenditure our contactless pavement maintenance solutions which can be rapidly installed within limited hours maintenance possessions with zero operational impact offer a cost effective long term solution.
Our geopolymer solution not only enables rapid repairs to runways, taxiways and aprons with no operational impact, but the durability of our repair system means that both asphalt and concrete pavements are protected from settlement throughout their operational lifespan. Providing an end to reflective cracking, slab settlement, and asphalt settlement and ponding. We believe that our system can revolutionise the asset management of your horizontal infrastructure at the challenging time and deliver cost, programme and environmental benefits not just in the short term but across the life of your pavements. |

| Asset and Infrastructure Restart | Osprey CSL | As airports adapt to the effects of COVID-19, a key enabler for operations will be resilience. With capital expenditure being suspended or limited, airports will need to get optimal performance from existing airport assets.
Osprey can perform Asset Analysis across the entire Communications, Navigations and Surveillance infrastructure to establish the key elements supporting the resilience of airport operations. We can develop solutions where resilience is a challenge – such as the introduction of operational procedures or the use of diverse communication routing, but crucially we can identify the areas where investment is required. |

| Asset and infrastructure restart | RPS | With a reduced footfall through terminals this is an excellent time to undertake 3D mapping of your building. This can provide an accurate 2D and 3D information which can assist with architectural space planning for social distancing. Or as-built information of the building structure and associated building services for future developments. RPS has extensive experience of undertaking these surveys for various public and private sector clients. Procuring this work now means reduced survey time and cost. Having the data in a 3D model also allows our architectural teams provide innovative design approaches using Virtual Reality. This can enhance stakeholder engagement, improve building safety and efficiency in Facilities Management. Again, a useful tool if planning social distancing measures. | Geoff Dewick

| Asset and infrastructure restart | Think Research | During the recovery from COVID-19 there will be a significant need for adaptation within the terminal that has the potential to impact the airfield operation too. Here at Think our simulation experts have been building bespoke simulation models, to further analyse the impact on terminal processes and layouts as well as the airfield operation.
We have been looking at the impact of different ACI recommended measures such as security process adaptation, social distancing, health checks and contactless processes and how each will affect space requirements, infrastructure use, queue times and the overall passenger experience. To see some of the results so far, check out our blog at: https://think.aero/views/re-opening-airports-with-covid-19-measures-requires-re-thinking-of-terminal-processes/ If there are any aspects of your terminal or process you would be interested in us assessing then please contact the team today. |

| HR & Talent Management | Willis Towers Watson | Industry resilience and talent exchange
Covid 19 is having a dramatic impact on all industries globally. Substantial shifts in supply and demand are causing huge talent imbalances across many sectors, and aviation is particularly affected. Layoffs, furloughs, salary reductions and shutdowns are endemic in the industry right now. However, at the same time, we are seeing spikes in demand for talent in healthcare, distribution/logistics and select retail operations with strong online presence. Many companies face a difficult balancing act; to fulfill a duty of care to employees, to act in a socially responsible fashion, and retain as much talent as possible, (so it can be re-engaged as the crisis passes), but also to ensure their economic survival. What if were possible to quickly and efficiently redistribute surplus talent to address these imbalances? This is one area organisations are actively considering, i.e., a talent exchange. The infographic below outlines more detail about how this works and the benefits to the “lending” organisation, the “recipient” organisation and to employees. The AOA’s strategic partner, Willis Towers Watson can assist in identifying and setting up these exchanges. More information is available here. |

PassBoard Touchless
PassBoard solves data quality issues by allowing airlines to scan all travel documents at the departure gate during boarding. Passports are used instead of boarding passes to board and update check-in records simultaneously. Manual inspection at the gate is a time-consuming and error-prone task which does not solve this problem. The PassBoard boarding process, creates a single source of API information which is always accurate. It is a cloud-based platform designed to provide airlines and airports with a means of deploying Internet of Things (IoT) devices for airport operations. IoT devices use a lightweight, secure protocol to communicate directly to the internet without the need of a computer. Please click here to learn more.

| Social Distancing | Arup | Adapting to a COVID-19 world – Acting now. Preparing for tomorrow. Arup can provide the support of people who are committed to the recovery of the airport business. People who work with you to give practical and pragmatic solutions to the questions and challenges you are facing.There are going to be several steps in recovery: tentative steps with relatively low passenger numbers, through a phase when greater numbers of passengers want to fly and physical distancing requirements seem to be incompatible, and then a possible future with widespread health checking or certification.We are working with airports to show them what throughput they can expect to support in the current situation, including assessing airport capacity with physical distancing in place. And, using a risk-based assessment methodology, combined with our Pandemic Measures Comparative Analysis Tool, we are showing how to increase this throughput in the short-term with a wide range of possible interventions.We back this up, where necessary, with detailed modelling: our proprietary MassMotion© passenger movement simulation and visualisation tool show you how interventions will manifest in terms of passenger flows. This modelling can be augmented with proximity analysis to determine how effective the interventions are in achieving physical distancing. This simulation allows you test interventions before trials and/or deploying measures with staff and passengers and it allows us to target mitigating measures where they have most value for you. |
