OVERVIEW
Manage airport complexity with less disruption
Balance capital projects, daily operations, and passenger demand with connected data and better visibility.
Design
Create intelligent, data-rich, and shareable 3D models that provide a clear vision for the entire project team, ensuring buy-in from the very beginning.
Design runways, taxiways, and aprons with engineering-grade accuracy to meet aviation safety standards and reduce costly rework.
Model terminals, concourses, and facilities in a connected BIM environment to improve quality and delivery.
Design airport bridges, elevated roadways, and civil structures with integrated analysis to reduce risk and speed approvals.
Connect design teams, reviews, version control, and handover data to accelerate construction readiness.
Build
Bring your project to life by visualizing the construction sequence in advance. Integrate schedules with 3D models to solve issues proactively for a safer, more efficient build.
Simulate construction sequencing to identify conflicts early, optimize schedules, and reduce construction risk.
Plan construction around active airport operations to minimize disruptions and maintain passenger flow.
Manage handover and construction progress in one environment to improve coordination and reduce delays.
Operate
Optimize daily performance with real-time data from your asset. Make smarter, data-driven decisions that’ll help ensure it operates reliably.
Connect engineering, GIS, and operational data in a digital twin to provide a trusted view of your airport.
Monitor airport operations and asset performance to identify issues earlier and support smoother passenger journeys.
Use trusted asset data to support inspections, compliance reporting, and aviation safety requirements.
Maintain
Extend the life of your asset using a digital twin. Remotely monitor real-time conditions to identify problems before they occur, improving safety and long-term reliability.
Use asset condition data to prioritize maintenance, extend asset life, and reduce maintenance costs.
Use AI-powered pavement inspections to identify defects faster and prioritize runway repairs.
Connect sensor and asset data to improve asset reliability and support uninterrupted airport operations.

A digital twin is a virtual representation of a physical asset or system that is continuously updated with relevant data. In airports, digital twins connect engineering, GIS, reality, and operational information in a single environment, helping teams improve visibility, make more informed decisions, reduce disruptions, and support asset management.
Managing construction in a live airport environment is one of the industry's greatest challenges. Bentley's 4D construction simulation and project management solutions allow teams to virtually plan and validate construction sequences before breaking ground, identifying clashes, optimizing schedules, and minimizing impact to active runways, terminals, and passenger flow.
Bentley's solutions cover the full scope of airport infrastructure — from terminal buildings, concourses, and passenger facilities to runways, taxiways, and aprons. Beyond the airport fence, our software supports the roads, rail, bridges, utilities, and site infrastructure that connect airports to surrounding communities.
While Bentley solutions do not directly manage passenger services, they help airport teams improve the infrastructure and operations that support the passenger experience. Better visibility into assets, projects, and operations helps reduce disruptions, maintain facility availability, and support smoother airport operations.
Yes. Bentley's open, cloud-based architecture is designed to connect data from a wide range of existing systems — including CAD, GIS, financial, and enterprise applications — without requiring replacement of current tools. This flexibility allows airport teams across all disciplines to access a single, accurate view of their infrastructure across teams and disciplines.
Airports worldwide have achieved measurable outcomes with Bentley's solutions. Sydney Airport saves 65 resource hours weekly through unified digital twin access. Guangdong Airport Authority eliminated rework and saved CNY 78 million on China's largest airport expansion. Benesch reduced manual runway inspection fieldwork by 75% using AI and digital twins, saving an estimated USD 144,000.
Airports globally are working towards net zero operations by 2050. Bentley's solutions help airports improve sustainability by reducing rework, improving asset performance, optimizing project delivery, and supporting data-driven decision-making throughout the infrastructure lifecycle. Digital twins can also help airport teams track performance metrics and support long-term sustainability initiatives.
