Start your journey towards data-driven air travel with Valcon
Aviation is evolving fast. As air travel expands and AI and technology reshape operations, airports are transforming to meet new demands.
Valcon supports this shift with deep expertise across the aviation value chain, delivering measurable impact for decades.
Our approach integrates consulting, technology, AI, and data to enable sustainable transformation across the entire passenger journey.
We help airports increase operational maturity, unlock data-driven and AI-powered opportunities, and define the path toward smarter, more efficient air travel.
Transforming aviation for a new era of growth
European air travel is entering a new phase of growth, with passenger numbers expected to double by 2040. Yet many airports are constrained by ageing infrastructure, limited maintenance, and capacity challenges that risk slowing progress.
At the same time, the industry faces workforce shortages, an increase in labour disputes, and rising operational costs driven by volatile oil prices, interest rates, and supply chain pressures.
Sustainability adds further urgency: passengers, regulators, and operators are pushing toward carbon neutrality by 2035, while electric and hydrogen-powered aircraft are set to redefine aviation in the 2030s.
How airports can lead the transformation:
- Enhancing the passenger experience and rebuilding trust through streamlined, data-enabled services across all stakeholders.
- Developing new digital capabilities to improve agility, scalability and operational readiness.
- Evolving operating models to balance day-to-day stability with long-term transformation goals.
- Leveraging data and AI to digitise the value chain, optimise decision-making, and reduce dependency on manual processes.
- Driving the domestic energy transition by adopting sustainable energy sources and circular resource management.
- Advancing sustainability and ESG initiatives to proactively address environmental targets and avoid future regulatory restrictions.

Improve customer experience and regain trust
Valcon assists airports in assessing passenger needs and formulating clear service strategies. Our focus is on leveraging data to optimise operational workflows and drive strategic initiatives for long-term success, elevating the overall passenger experience. As an implementation partner for BagsID baggage identification systems, Valcon facilitates digitalisation objectives at airports. The BagsID technology utilises cameras, depth sensors and controlled lighting to automate the baggage processes. Artificial Intelligence assigns a Bag ID, eliminating the need for physical tags and consequently eradicating barcode no-reads.
For airlines
Enabling luggage tracking, minimising lost bags and providing evidence for any damaged goods, optimising fuel loads and enhancing passenger service
For airports
A central information repository for swift bag and owner connections, reduced staffing and storage requirements and identification of safety hazards.
For passengers
Luggage tracking, evidence of damaged goods and a central information register for faster bag and owner connections
Increase operational robustness and throughput
Valcon serves as an end-to-end implementation partner for enhancing the operational robustness in airports and airlines, rooted in a data-centric approach. We employ our proprietary operations framework to establish a demand-driven transformation strategy. This approach leverages data and AI to not only bolster operational resilience but also to facilitate scalable operational excellence, irrespective of your current state of digital maturity. Our efforts aim for long-term operational success, improved stakeholder coordination and elevated service quality.
For airlines
Efficient land and airside processes (in-time boarding) and access to a data ecosystem enabling multiple new (end-to-end) use cases
For airports
End-to-end control and data-driven insights to improve the performance of key security processes and achieve cost-effective staff scheduling that adapts to peak periods
For passengers
Time-efficient security lanes, safer flying and fast incident management
Ensure license to operate
Valcon acts as a strategic implementation partner for sustainability initiatives and sustainable practices in airports. We employ a demand-driven transformation approach, harnessing data to refine operational sustainability. Our focus extends to implementing strategic measures designed for long-term environmental success and improved stakeholder engagement.
For airlines
Exceeding safety and quality standards to maintain operational licenses and ensuring compliance with environmental and social responsibilities to sustain public trust
For airports
Keeping up with complex and evolving regulations and compliance requirements ensuring accurate and timely reporting to avoid penalties and legal issues
For passengers
Sustainable practices and technologies across airport operations to meet increasing demand for eco-friendly travel
