Future-proofing the aviation sector
20/02/2025
Airports face mounting challenges: aging infrastructure, evolving technologies, and the increasing pressure to meet sustainability goals, the aviation sector faces a complex set of challenges.
Downer has released its airports whitepaper, ‘Future-proofing the aviation sector: Optimising the benefit of Contractor input’.
Co-authored by T&I Head of Airports George Leidig and T&I Australia GM Specialised Pavements & Projects Simon Abrahams, the whitepaper showcases our expertise and commitment to delivering smarter, more sustainable airport infrastructure. It offers an extensive analysis of how strengthened collaboration between airports, consultants and contractors is leading to innovative solutions and greater resilience for airport assets and operations.
Addressing key challenges in airport infrastructure
“We’ve created this paper to share the transformational solutions that are being developed, trialled, and delivered by airports across Australia and New Zealand,” said George. “But more importantly, we want to continue the thinking, the conversations, and the collaboration within the industry that make these solutions possible. We believe in ‘Better Together’.”
Innovative solutions for a sustainable future
The whitepaper outlines a range of cutting-edge initiatives being implemented to enhance airport infrastructure resilience, such as:
- Advanced pavement technologies that improve durability and lifecycle performance.
- Smart asset management systems leveraging data and AI for predictive maintenance.
- Sustainable construction practices aimed at reducing carbon footprints.
- Workforce development programs to address skill shortages in the sector.
By fostering stronger partnerships between key industry players, the report emphasises that airports can enhance operational efficiencies, improve passenger experiences and meet future challenges with confidence.
