The characteristics of the airports of the future

Research for Travel has predicted what airports will look like if dramatic changes are made by 2025.

The predictions are:

• Trusted travellers bypassing security
• Rapid, high-tech emigration and immigration
• No shops at airports, just showrooms
• Airports operating 24 hours a day
• Totally new boarding procedures
• No check-in desks or check-in luggage

In combination, this is said to create an enjoyable travelling experience as opposed to today’s long and tedious travelling process.

The reason that these changes are necessary is not only to improve customer experience, but also as airlines need to cut costs and airports need to deal with growing passenger numbers.
