    Optimizing Passenger Flow at Europe’s Busiest Airport

    Heathrow, Europe’s biggest airport, uses Xovis’ fully managed passenger flow solution AERO and the company’s large-area PF sensor to ensure capacity challenges don’t negatively impact the passenger experience.

    Europe’s busiest airport and one of the world’s most well-known transport hubs, London Heathrow faces enormous challenges in managing the flow of its nearly 85 million annual passengers.

    The airport needed a solution capable of handling the volume and complexity of its operations while also creating a strong data foundation for future expansion. This Heathrow case study shows how AERO—Xovis' fully managed passenger flow solution—together with the large-area PF-Series sensor, helped the hub:

    • Icon

      Implement flow optimization strategies in a cost-efficient way

    • Icon

      Comply with UK regulations governing passenger pathways

    • Icon

      Increase the time passengers have to enjoy airside services

    • Icon

      Create a data set that will shape future expansion efforts

    Xovis delivers granular passenger flow intelligence across every terminal touchpoint, providing full journey visibility rather than isolated queue snapshots. The larger coverage area of the PF sensor simplifies installation and reduces costs, giving us a faster path to value
