The one-of-its-kind ‘airport in a box’ technology integrates building information modelling (BIM) with geographic information system (GIS) to predict failures, plan resources smartly and optimise maintenance.

With the nearing of NMIAs tentative inauguration on September 30, the airport operator Adani Airports Holding Ltd (AAHL) has commenced preparations in full swing to keep India’s first natively digital airport ready. Adani Digital Lab, the technology and digital transformation arm for the Adani Group, will employ a series of technological initiatives to make NMIA future-ready.
