Cologne/Bonn Airport is embarking on a new chapter, as it strives to become a leader in climate-friendly and resource-saving operations. By 2025, the airport will be the first in Germany to fully rely on CT technology for security screening.
In the realm of innovation, a digital twin of the airport is being developed to streamline operational processes. This digital replica will provide valuable insights for improving efficiency and sustainability.
