The 13th International Smart Airport Development Forum 2025

In 2024, China’s civil aviation airport industry continued to maintain a steady growth trend, with the number of airports in China reaching 247, forming a radiation network centered on first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The overall throughput of China’s civil aviation airports shows a steady growth trend. The total passenger throughput of airports in China reached 1.02 billion, up 5.8% year on year. Among them, the passenger throughput of civil aviation airports reached 1 billion. In terms of cargo volume, the country’s airports have completed a total cargo throughput of 15 million tons, an increase of 4.5%.

2025 is the end of the “14th Five-Year Plan” and the year of the beginning of “15th Five-Year Plan”. The “1+12+7” series of plans will be launched in the civil aviation field, focusing on the construction of a modern airport system, the improvement of security capabilities and the optimization of airspace resources. With the explosive development of artificial intelligence technology and the innovation breakthrough of DeepSeek large model, the intelligent construction of the airport is accelerating to the direction of “all-scene intelligent decision-making, all-process data integration, and all-business synergies”. At present, Hainan Airport has deployed DeepSeek large model through privatization, built enterprise-level vector knowledge base to achieve safe control and efficient invocation of core business data, and achieved redundancy cost reduction in intelligent customer service, flight scheduling, seat allocation and other scenarios. Shenzhen Airport relies on Centeng computing cluster and 18 types of heterogeneous data fusion platform to build a real-time security early warning system, pushing passenger throughput up to 60 million passengers and improving abnormal event identification accuracy to 98%.

The industry is forming an “AI big model + Internet of Things + biometrics” technology matrix, optimizing predictive resource scheduling algorithms through DeepSeek’s reinforcement learning framework, combining cross-border technologies such as intelligent construction and drone inspection, and promoting the upgrade of airport operations from single point intelligence to full life cycle intelligence. In this context, the 13th International Smart Airport Development Forum will focus on “AI-driven Airport Digital Transformation and Collaborative innovation”, accelerate the deep penetration of DeepSeek and other large models in the fields of energy management, passenger service, and cross-sea channel construction, and provide a “Chinese solution” for the construction of global smart airports.Help the industry to move towards a new development stage of “efficiency improvement and cost reduction and smart dual-wheel drive”.
