Airport Capability Model

In the post pandemic operating environment, when staff numbers and experience are limited, and investment and recruitment has been deferred for a number of years, it is difficult to make and prioritise the business decisions necessary to deal with issues currently being faced.

Additionally, within the same context of limited resources and in-house expertise, airports are having to incorporate planning for increasingly complex future challenges such as the environment, digitisation, Urban Air Mobility, the pace of change, and the inability of traditional procurement models to support innovation.

Through the application of enterprise architecture to airport operations, Solus has created a target operating model concept to facilitate an assessment of the airport organisation, suppliers and key stakeholders across a broad range of topics including strategic planning, resource management, service delivery, compliance, quality and procurement.

Using data gathered through self-assessment surveys, interviews, and provided financial information, the outputs from our analysis include not simply a stand-alone scoring, but valuable comparisons with industry peers, to identify improvement areas and shape future airport strategy.
