Heathrow Airport
Forecasting airport baggage flows.
As Europe’s busiest airport, Heathrow safely carries hundreds of thousands of passengers through its terminals and onto their flights every day. Its busiest terminal, T5, carries over 30 million passengers each year, so even small advancements in planning and passenger efficiency can have enormous impact on total capacity for the airport as a whole.
We helped Heathrow to build a predictive modelling forecast for future baggage handling requirements based on historical patterns and future flight schedules, including the impact of unplanned events and variants such as weather and air traffic control issues system problems.
