ADB SAFEGATE has been awarded contracts to install its AiPRON and OneControl software at New York JFK’s The New Terminal One.
The company said this will provide the new airport terminal with the “most efficient and safest ramp operation in America”.
The New Terminal One at New York JFK is a new international terminal being built in partnership with The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s US$19bn transformation of the airport.
The first phase of the project, which includes the arrivals and departures halls and the first 14 gates, is scheduled to open in June 2026.
In partnership with Tishman Construction Corp, the builder of the terminal, ADB SAFEGATE will deliver the latest Airside 4.0 technology, which includes a “comprehensive apron management and tower system”.
According to ADB SAFEGATE, the systems combine 12 separate products and solutions, including apron management software, advanced visual docking guidance systems, ramp services management systems (RSMS), intelligent lead-in and roadway guard lighting and a virtual apron control room.
The project will deliver “one of the most integrated airport apron operations in the US”.
Nick Haines, vice president for the Americas at ADB SAFEGATE, said: “Our scope of work involves a complete apron management system bringing a new level of intelligence and automation to provide the most efficient and safest ramp operation in America, and among the very best in the world.”
Simon Gandy, executive vice president and chief operating officer for The New Terminal One, added: “Passenger experience and efficient operations are key priorities for our future operating business.
“They support our ambition to transform international travel to New York and the United States and to be ranked among the top airport terminals in the world.
“We are pleased to be working with ADB SAFEGATE to ensure our airside operations are safe and efficient and that through improved information sharing and decision making, our community of customer and stakeholders and ultimately our future travellers will benefit from this investment in technology.”
The integrated solutions that will be delivered to The New Terminal One are part of ADB SAFEGATE’s Airside 4.0 vision, which aims to provide innovative solutions to boost efficiency, safety and sustainability in airports worldwide.
With its apron management system, the company claims it is driving forward its commitment to shaping the future of airside operations.
