With projected global airport development expenditure estimated at more than US$1 trillion up to 2058*, the Consortium plans to develop a comprehensive export strategy for this business area with a particular focus on Asia Pacific markets and cities with strong growth potential.

Tapping on the unique strengths and complementary capabilities of the companies, the Consortium will deliver holistic, end-to-end solutions that can transform the global airport development industry, enhance the efficiency and security of airport operations, as well as improve air travel experience. This will drive the Consortium’s common objective in implementing smart city initiatives worldwide that enhance standards of living and improve the lives of people.

Harnessing its deep technological capabilities in areas such as data analytics and artificial intelligence, ST Engineering will deliver cutting-edge, next-generation solutions that power global smart cities and transform airport operations. These include the Group’s proven technologies such as analytics-driven airport operations command systems, security solutions such as counter drone, sensor-based intruder detection as well as biometrics screening, unmanned aerobridge systems and autonomous baggage handling systems that promote safe, secure and efficient airport operations.

Airport operators have the opportunities to fully harness the power of new technologies from sensors to robotics and data analytics that redefine the travel experience in an integrated manner. This is where ST Engineering, with our strong capabilities in technology and engineering, in collaboration with our partners, Surbana Jurong and CAPE, can positively impact the air transport industry – bringing holistic solutions that leverage new technologies and processes to develop Smart Airports.”

Mr Wong Heang Fine, Group CEO of Surbana Jurong said, “As one of the largest Asia-based urban and infrastructure consulting firms, Surbana Jurong’s strengths lie in the ability to weave airports into the surrounding urban fabrics, creating vibrant aerotropoli that boost the economic development of cities – the airport cities of the future.

Mr Peter Lee, Managing Director of CAPE, said, “Having worked on over 60 projects in more than 20 countries, CAPE has extensive experience in a broad spectrum of services including master planning, airport engineering, terminal design and project management. We look forward to collaborating with Surbana Jurong and ST Engineering in overseas airport development projects.
