Fortune Business Insights™ presents this information in its report titled “Airport Services Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Airport Type (International and Domestic), By Application (Aeronautical Services and Non-Aeronautical Services), By Infrastructure Type (Greenfield Airport and Brownfield Airport), and Regional Forecast, 2025 – 2032”.

Artificial intelligence is integrated into various areas of the travel industry. Several airports have implemented robots driven by artificial intelligence and machine learning. For instance, in December 2021, around USD 3007.5 million approx. were said to be invested by the Airports Authority of India toward the development and expansion of airports. These initiatives are anticipated to increase the airport services market share.

Aviation Industry Suffers Severe Setback During Pandemic due to Widespread Closures

The pandemic's impact on the aviation industry was severe, leading to widespread closures of airports and travel restrictions. The aviation and airport services industry witnessed a significant decline in demand during the COVID-19 pandemic, with over 60% of international airlines suspended and one million jobs lost. Air connections were reduced by more than 50% in 2020, resulting in a decrease of 60.2% in flights and a loss of USD 126 billion in industrial aviation.

Enhancing Efficiency and Passenger Freight Services with Comprehensive Ground Handling Solutions

Hainan Airlines unveiled a contract for ramp handling to Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. WFS’s preliminary work for the Chinese airlines is unloading and loading 3-5 weekly passenger freighter services. Additionally, GPU services, crew shuttle, water, and lavatory are other things WFS will offer.

Improvements in Airport Infrastructure to Progress Market

Airports are focused on redeveloping and improving their infrastructure to enhance customer experience. For instance, a third runway is expected to be ready by 2026 in Heathrow, the busiest airport in Europe, located in the U.K. The air terminal is expected to introduce its new pilot component tracking system to achieve its aim.

However, a lack of support for appropriate services and infrastructure may hamper the airport services market growth.
