Airport Physical AI Readiness Index
A free diagnostic that scores whether an airport is prepared to operate autonomous machines across six infrastructure, operational, and governance domains.
Field notes
The index separates four places where autonomous systems operate—airside, terminal, baggage and cargo, and infrastructure—from two enabling layers: data/connectivity and governance/workforce. Its example output is a 57/100 “Piloting” result, with an “enablement deficit” of +25 and a warning about pilot purgatory. The page says the assessment takes about ten minutes, contains 30 criteria, and does not require commercial data.
