World's largest hubs adopt AirportLabs' cloud platform

The company now claims deployments across more than 100 airports worldwide

AirportLabs, a specialist in airport technology, reports a wave of adoptions of its operational platform by international hubs and multi-airport groups. Chicago O’Hare (ORD) and Aerodom, a VINCI Airports subsidiary in the Dominican Republic, are among the new users, alongside the 13-airport portfolio operated by OMA in Mexico. The company now claims deployments across more than 100 airports worldwide.

AirportLabs’ proposition is built on a cloud-native architecture designed to reduce integration friction and remove the need for heavy on-premise infrastructure. The suite spans SkyCore AODB, Allegra RMS, VisionAir FIDS (flight information display system), GCAM (runway visibility and turnaround management), RealTime Airport (real-time operational picture) and Airport Community App (team coordination). The company highlights compressed go-live timelines, citing a VisionAir FIDS rollout completed in just 40 days. Cutting reliance on on-site servers and centralising data is intended to simplify upgrades, support and functional expansion.

Addressing the 'complexity crisis' at major hubs

The move targets growing complexity at airports, marked by fragmented data and rigid legacy applications that hold back scalability. Operators need to speed up the delivery of information — from passenger displays and gate allocation to operational visibility — while keeping costs and risks in check.

AirportLabs frames the announcement as part of a wider ‘platformisation’ of airport systems, driven by traffic pressure, performance ambitions and resilience requirements. An integrated architecture, it argues, allows airports to focus on strategy rather than monitoring their own servers. Product standardisation is presented as a way to plug in new capabilities quickly, even within existing data networks and complex legacy infrastructure.
