QIC Innovation in Infrastructure: Episode 4 - Unlocking the power of data science in airports QIC QPod

In our fourth episode of our Innovation in Infrastructure Podcast series, QIC’s Thierry Cojan chats with Brussels Airport Company’s Chief Strategy Officer, Hubert Flahaux, and Jetpak.AI’s Co-Founder and Chief Scientist Gautier Krings to discuss data science in the context of airports. Jetpack.AI was acquired last year by Brussels Airport in their drive to promote data science in everyday airport operations.

You will hear how Jetpak.AI is able to analyse the airport’s wealth of data to help guide strategy and decision making, including assisting in improving passenger processing times and capital allocations, following recent changes to EU border processing rules.

Utilising data science has enormous potential for Brussels Airport which in 2023 welcomed 22.2 million passengers, transported 701,000 tonnes of cargo through the airport, has direct connections to 220 destinations across 72 airlines and is home to over 260 businesses.
