APAC Aviation Tech Summit 2025

Venue: Pavilion 1 & 2, Pool House, Bangkok Marriott Marquis Hotel

As artificial intelligence reshapes industries, the travel sector stands on the brink of a major transformation. This session delves into cutting-edge developments, emerging trends, and the opportunities and challenges ahead and explores how AI is driving smarter, more personalized, and efficient travel experiences—from predictive planning and real-time assistance to autonomous transportation and seamless customer service, as we chart a course toward the future of travel.

As travel volumes grow, innovation is essential to maintaining secure and seamless borders. This keynote explores the role of Digital Travel Credentials (DTCs) in enabling faster, more secure identity verification, reducing friction for travelers. We’ll also examine how AI-driven intelligent targeting enhances automated border control, allowing authorities to identify risks more accurately while streamlining low-risk passenger processing. Together, these technologies are reshaping the future of global mobility.

The future of travel is digital, seamless, and passenger-centric. This session explores how emerging technologies—such as biometrics, mobile platforms, AI, and real-time data integration—are transforming every stage of the journey. We will highlight strategies for delivering frictionless, personalized experiences, enhancing security and efficiency while meeting rising traveler expectations.

Speaker: Lieselotte Neste

Innovations such as the latest tracking devices, the adoption of IATA messaging standards, and services like BagMate are transforming the way baggage is tracked and managed, making travel more efficient and less stressful.

This session explores recent advancements, early field experiences, and helps define the priorities for the future of baggage management.

Speaker: Alexander Lichy

Discuss what it takes to build a truly connected airport. We’ll highlight the critical role of compliance in ensuring safety, security, and operational integrity across systems. The discussion will cover agile communication solutions that support real-time coordination among stakeholders, and how different architectural approaches can be tailored to meet the unique needs of varying airport types—whether regional, international, or hub-scale.

Explores how AI is revolutionizing airport operations through predictive analytics. From demand forecasting and disruptive management to capacity planning, AI empowers aviation leaders to make faster, smarter decisions. A unified data and AI platform enables seamless integration and insight generation, while advanced analytics drive the optimization of airside and terminal operations, improving efficiency, resilience, and passenger experience.

Speaker: Adam Stark

As the aviation sector faces growing pressure to reduce its environmental impact, innovation is key to achieving meaningful progress. This keynote explores cutting-edge strategies for sustainability and decarbonization, from the adoption of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) to operational efficiencies. We will highlight how collaboration across airlines, airports, manufacturers, and regulators is driving transformative change, and discuss the role of emerging technologies and data-driven insights in accelerating a greener future for aviation.

As travelers increasingly expect frictionless journeys spanning air, land, and sea, technology is redefining the future of travel and tourism. This keynote explores how data, AI, and digital platforms are revolutionizing travel and tourism. Key topics include the integration of digital identities, biometrics, real-time baggage tracking, and predictive operations. The session will emphasize the importance of collaboration and data sharing in delivering connected journeys. Regional initiatives and global success stories will highlight how better integration across domains, modes, and stakeholders leads to better business and operational efficiencies. Discover how passenger-centric design and emerging technologies need to be used to shape the future of travel.
