Airports in Spain Enhance Efficiency with AI

By MGN EditorialMarch 20, 2026 at 08:44 PM

Indra and Synaptic Aviation deploy AI technology to optimize ground operations at major Spanish airports, improving efficiency and sustainability.

Spanish airports in Barcelona, Madrid, and Palma de Mallorca are enhancing their operations with the help of innovative artificial intelligence (AI) technology, according to a press release from PR Newswire. The new AI software, developed by Indra and Synaptic Aviation, is optimizing critical ground operations such as passenger boarding and aircraft rotation. This is helping to increase the predictability and efficiency of these processes, ultimately reinforcing the overall sustainability of the three airports, which are managed by Aena and have the highest passenger flows in Spain. 'The implementation of this AI-powered solution is a significant step forward in our commitment to driving innovation and improving the passenger experience at our airports,' said an Aena spokesperson. 'By enhancing the predictability and efficiency of our ground operations, we are able to operate more sustainably while delivering a smoother journey for travelers.' The technology is expected to provide valuable data insights that will enable the airports to make more informed decisions and continuously improve their processes. This aligns with the broader industry trend of leveraging advanced analytics and automation to boost the performance and environmental impact of aviation infrastructure. 'Indra and Synaptic Aviation have developed a cutting-edge solution that demonstrates the power of AI to transform airport operations,' commented an industry analyst. 'As the aviation sector works to enhance its sustainability, we will likely see more airports adopt similar intelligent systems to optimize their workflows and resource utilization.'
