IoT-enabled tracking systems can streamline baggage handling and logistics at airports.

Cologne, June 2023 – While Aero domains are primarily intended for aviation-related purposes, including airports, airlines, and aviation service providers, they can be used in various ways for the Internet of Things (IoT) at airports. Here are a few examples:

Airport Infrastructure Management: Aero-Domain names can be used to create unique identifiers for IoT devices deployed throughout the airport infrastructure. This can include sensors, beacons, cameras, access control systems, and other smart devices that gather and transmit data for monitoring and managing airport operations.

Example Aero domain: infrastructure.airportname.aero

Passenger Experience Enhancement: IoT technologies can be employed to improve the passenger experience at airports. By using Aero domain names, airports can create dedicated websites or portals to provide real-time information, such as flight updates, gate changes, security wait times, and baggage tracking. These domains can also be used for passenger feedback, surveys, and interactive services.

Example Aero domain: passengerexperience.airportname.aero

Aircraft Tracking and Maintenance: Airlines and airport authorities can use IoT devices for tracking and maintaining aircraft. Aero domains can be utilized to set up systems for real-time monitoring of aircraft parameters, fuel levels, engine performance, and maintenance schedules. These domains can serve as centralized platforms for data analysis and decision-making.

Example Aero domain: aircrafttracking.airlinecode.aero

Airport Security and Safety: IoT devices play a crucial role in enhancing airport security and safety measures. Aero domain names can be used to establish networks of interconnected security devices, such as video surveillance cameras, access control systems, and threat detection sensors. These domains can provide secure access to the data and management interfaces.

Example Aero domain: security.airportname.aero

Baggage Tracking and Logistics: IoT-enabled tracking systems can streamline baggage handling and logistics at airports. Aero domains can be employed to create interfaces for baggage tracking and management, allowing passengers and airport personnel to track the location of their bags in real-time and receive automated notifications.

Example Aero domain: baggagetracking.airportname.aero
