Finland's airports will soon be run by AI - TechHQ

Delays, overcrowded departure dates, disgruntled passengers-- airports are rarely stress-free or smooth-sailing. But airports around the globe with savvy management are increasingly experimenting with data analytics and AI in order to make the process of flying more attractive for the customers that pass through their terminals. In Finland, Finavia-- the company behind all of the country's 21 airports-- teamed up with advisory firm Fourkind and agency Reaktor to take a look at its airport of Kittilä in Lapland. Finavia found that the airport wasn't able to keep up with the seasonal demands of the country's booming tourism industry. Tourists flocking to see the Northern Lights and catch a glimpse of Santa Claus were causing lengthy delays.
