Airport Operations
Predict terminal congestion and optimize resource allocation at Indian airports
Industry Context
Indian airlines carried 166.95 million domestic passengers in 2025, with Bengaluru, Delhi, Mumbai, and Hyderabad serving as major hubs. Yet terminal operations rely on reactive management. Congestion at security, immigration, and boarding gates creates cascading delays that degrade the passenger experience and increase operational costs.

The Challenges
- Unpredictable bottlenecks at security and immigration at Indian metro airports
- Lack of real-time visibility into terminal-wide passenger flow
- Reactive resource allocation that cannot prevent congestion before it forms
- Siloed data systems that prevent a unified operational picture
