As complex airfield technologies advance, our challenge is to explore the benefits of integrating diverse systems including:

• Enhanced Digital Tower
• Advancement Pavement and FOD risk management
• Airfield Digital Twins
• Smart Stands
• Airfield Autonomy (perimeter patrol/grass cutting)

A collaborative workshop between senior airfield ops management and digital product developers.

Exchanging ideas, issues and solutions about every aspect of airfield maintenance. Sharing results of research and development projects and identifying issues and changes to existing regulations, policies, standards and guidelines, technical training, maintenance management and practices.

• Up-front access to the latest airfield technologies
• Technical and operational sessions
• International airport, airline and government delegates

Each year, airport members of the SWIFT steering group agree on key issues that need addressing at the next conference.

COMPLEX AIRFIELD SYSTEMS STRATEGY
The second of the 2025 CASS meetings takes place in Niagara Falls. Easy to get to from YYZ and reasonably priced accommodation. Again we focus on:

• Enhanced Digital Tower
• Advancement Pavement and FOD risk management
• Airfield Digital Twins
• Smart Stands
• Airfield Autonomy (perimeter patrol/grass cutting)

The SWIFT Conference & Expo returned to Vancouver in September with the highest ever recorded attendance for a ‘non-equipment’ year. The 2024 ‘Better Together | Working Together’ theme is at the heart of all things SWIFT as the airport community join together to exchange solutions to common challenges and explore new ideas.

SWIFT 2025, hosted by Toronto Pearson Airport, takes place at the Sheraton Fallsview Hotel in Niagara Falls. Registration will open in March but for information on sponsoring or exhibiting, we recommend getting in touch now as expo space is likely to sell out again.
