Cirium’s advanced data and analytics will be seamlessly integrated with Brisbane Airport’s business systems. This integration will support enhanced capacity planning, resource allocation, and operations analysis.

Jeremy Bowen, Cirium CEO, commented: "We are delighted to support Brisbane Airport’s transformative investment to revolutionise its passenger experience and meet future travel demand.

“Integrating Cirium data and analytics through the Cirium Sky Warehouse will help the airport to consolidate and accelerate digitization, leading to improved decision-making and operational performance.

"Our data will be a crucial asset in driving efficiency and elevating the traveler experience at Brisbane Airport."

Ryan Both, Brisbane Airport Executive General Manager Aviation said: “Accessing Cirium’s schedules data through Cirium Sky Warehouse enables advanced automation, marking a critical step in Brisbane Airport’s digital transformation project.”

“The schedules data plays a critical role in creating and executing more accurate flight schedules, planning for future events and fluctuations in air traffic, gaining more comprehensive insights, and making decisions for business growth. This will lead to numerous improvements around efficiency, sustainability and passenger experience.”

“Embracing a cloud-based data integration approach also means we will significantly reduce the time spent internally on data and ultimately drive cost efficiencies.”

Brisbane Airport is currently undergoing a transformation program known as Future BNE, which includes 150 projects over a 10-year period, focusing on upgrades to the airport’s domestic and international terminals, as well as planning for a third terminal, ahead of the city hosting the 2032 Olympics.

This first phase modernization will support an improved experience for the almost 25 million passengers currently passing through its terminals and the additional 10 million expected over the coming decade.

The Cirium Sky Warehouse delivers the highest quality aviation data and analytics in one accessible data cloud, aligning seamlessly with Brisbane Airport’s digital transformation objectives. While the airport will initially leverage schedules data, a wealth of other data can be accessed and integrated from Cirium Sky Warehouse including flight, traffic, fleet, fares, weather, and CO2 emissions.

By leveraging the power of Cirium’s data cloud, Brisbane Airport joins global major airlines, fuel supply companies, aviation financiers, and more in enhancing its planning, operational efficiency and growth opportunities.
