6 1.From his home, Mr. Barkley: −Checks in online −Downloads airport portal to phone to register his preferences (food, books, …) −Prints boarding card and bag tag 2.Portal pushes flight status Mr Barkley Flight United UA 582 to Chicago Leaving at 09:38PM Status: ON TIME Gate: T15

7 Mr. Barkley drives to airport (directions on mobile phone GPS system): 1.asks where to park and books/prepays his parking space 2.once parked, tags parking location to easily find his car upon his return

8 Proceed to Security Lane #3 This way 1.Mr. Barkley drops off his bag (and will know at all times where it is thanks to end-to-end bag tracking) 2.The portal directs him to shortest security queue via augmented reality interface

9 Mr. Barkley goes through biometrics- enabled security & documentation control (faster and more secure procedures)

10 1.Mr. Barkley is informed of relevant and personalised special offers based on his location 2.He purchases items using his mobile phone for checkout and payment ACCEPT DECLINE Back Alpha Retail Offers Select Back Alpha Retail Select Back

11 Meanwhile, Mr. Barkley's aircraft has landed. Apron Mgr. Flights SK456FA123SO768 Handling crews are optimally allocated and supported by the Airport Management System via information pushed on their handheld devices Refuelling: 78% complete

12 Gate handling staff too is proactively informed of potential time-breaches via mobile devices and resources are allocated based on real-time data (passenger status and location) January 28, 200908:31 Gate-handling status Gate open Cabin crew reported Boarding started Pax yet to board Cabin door closed Gate closed 8.05 8.10 8.15 15 8.40 8.42 Planned BA1365 8.05 8.15 8.17 Actual Gate 44 30

13 Mr. Barkley is informed that boarding has begun (suggested itinerary with ETA) Mr. Barkley, your flight UA 582 to Chicago is now BOARDING Please proceed to gate T15 Estimated time to reach gate: 6 min. Suggested itinerary

14 He reaches his gate where he is able to self-board without queueing

15 Three areas of legal focus: 15 Poised for rapid growth – raising data issues Efficiency & massive data transfer Legal options and models for new infra- structure WALA - SITA Presentation: Legal Issues & IT@Airports | Confidential | © SITA 2012 1. Airport Passenger Tracking 2. Wireless Networking 3. Shared use IT Infrastructure

16 1. Airport Passenger Tracking and Legal Issues 16 WALA - SITA Presentation: Legal Issues & IT@Airports | Confidential | © SITA 2012

17 Pax Tracking – What is it? “Passive” anonymous tracking vs. “Active” tracking and “push” interacting: Automatically validating access to secure areas Sending boarding information Marketing If the passenger data is known: You are gathering & storing pax personal data You can “push” information to specific pax (with consent) Analyzing output data to improve: Airport services for pax; and Airport efficiency – in real-time 17 WALA - SITA Presentation: Legal Issues & IT@Airports | Confidential | © SITA 2012

18 Consolidating and Analyzing Anonymous Data – P@A Dashboard – allowing real-time airport efficiency decisions 18

19 Using Personal Data @Airports Pushing information to known pax – using preferences and a phone no – must comply with data protection laws (if applicable in your country). Airlines cannot give data for direct marketing by third parties unless the pax has explicitly consented. (They can give it for airport operational or security reasons.) 19 WALA - SITA Presentation: Legal Issues & IT@Airports | Confidential | © SITA 2012

20 Using Personal Data @Airports How do you legally gather knowledge about people – mobile no., age, salary, what they like to read – and obtain their consent to enable direct marketing? Buy it from brokers? Revenue share with airlines? iPhone / Android apps? Loyalty / FF cards? Over 70% of bus. class pax have 1+ FF. Gather it using other incentives? 20 WALA - SITA Presentation: Legal Issues & IT@Airports | Confidential | © SITA 2012 Mr Barkley Flight United UA 582 to Chicago 09:38PM Status: ON TIME Gate: T15

21 Once you have data, under data protection laws: It can only be used in line with the original consent; The pax retains ownership and rights eg. to have it “forgotten” (in EU); It must be stored securely. Passing the data to subcontractors is often possible, but you must “control” the data at all times. In the context of cloud services, data “control” means: Access control; Ability to inspect access logs; Ability to alter storage instructions. 21 WALA - SITA Presentation: Legal Issues & IT@Airports | Confidential | © SITA 2012 Using Personal Data @Airports

22 Legal Issues in Passenger Tracking@Airports SUMMARY Airports have the opportunity to be at the forefront of consensual direct marketing via social media – driving both pax satisfaction and beneficial marketing. Meaning that airports will become experts in personal data laws and data storage security issues. Control and security of data is key. 22 WALA - SITA Presentation: Legal Issues & IT@Airports | Confidential | © SITA 2012

23 2. Wireless Networking and Legal Issues 23 WALA - SITA Presentation: Legal Issues & IT@Airports | Confidential | © SITA 2012

24 Wireless: What’s the available technology? Data transfer o Wifi Range <100 metres; speed usually 54 MBps o 3G cellular Existing networks are PCI secure o WiMax (4G) Range 50km; faster than wifi Some spectrum is regulated, some is not Tracking o Bluetooth Accurate to +/- 5 sec. / 8-15% pax penetration / range = 10m o Wifi 25-50% pax penetration and growing o Laser/Video/Thermal Accurate to +/- 2-3% Pax Access / Validation o Near-field Communication (NFC) Smartphone (or chip) radio comms eg. Swiping for access – 5cm range 24

25 How will wireless networks be used? Linking: Each pax  Airport Each aircraft  Airline’s data centre (via ground n/w) Each pilot  Airline / Airport Airport agents  Airport operations Airside staff  Airport operations 3,000+ aircraft with new, heavy wireless networking requirements in next 2-3 years: B777, B787, B747-8, A380, A350 plus retrofits How to securely download 3 GB of mission critical data in 45 min? Airlines now issuing tenders for many ‘000s of iPads with wifi

26 Wireless networks: Internal Efficiencies | New Services Airports are drawing up plans for: (Source: SITA research) 1. Mobile workforces; and 2. Aircraft-dedicated wireless services Mission critical; both require professional grade wifi Challenges: How to anticipate future technology Airlines desire a single integrated global system SECURITY: Who will be liable for hacking incidents? 26 WALA - SITA Presentation: Legal Issues & IT@Airports | Confidential | © SITA 2012

27 3,000+ aircraft with new, heavy wireless networking requirements in next 2-3 years: B777, B787, B747-8, A380, A350 plus retrofits How to securely download 3 GB of mission critical data in 45 min? ? Great coffee!

28 Security for Wireless Networking 28 Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) should be aimed for – provides a high standard. To seek to protect and mitigate risks of hacking, technical design steps are needed. Nine examples: SSID (WLAN) hidden from view; 802.1x security requiring user authentication; Certificate based security; Encryption; Firewalls; Traffic management - inbound traffic denial; Testing for rogue access points; Audit log management; Deploying wireless Intrusion Prevention/Detection. Infrastructure investment in airport wifi networks will often be necessary to achieve PCI compliance. Device  W-LAN  Ground LAN  Ground WAN. No weak links WALA - SITA Presentation: Legal Issues & IT@Airports | Confidential | © SITA 2012

29 Legal Issues in Wireless Networking @Airports 29 SUMMARY Wireless networks offer airports significant possible revenue growth. Security is a value-add. Reasonable liability disclaimers will be sought. A robust, standardised and secure service will support heavier use – by the thousands of next- gen aircraft and devices (iPads etc) soon to come online at airports.

30 3. Shared-use IT Infrastructure and Legal Issues 30 WALA - SITA Presentation: Legal Issues & IT@Airports | Confidential | © SITA 2012

31 What is Shared-use / Common-use? Infrastructure/equipment that is used by multiple airlines/GHAs, and contracted by those airlines/GHAs. First occurred in 1980s. The following can be supplied on a common-use basis: Existing: Check-in desks / peripherals Check-in kiosks New: Automated “intelligent”* security gates Self-boarding gates Self-service bag drop machines 31 WALA - SITA Presentation: Legal Issues & IT@Airports | Confidential | © SITA 2012 * E-Gates have the intelligence, through sensors, to detect if there are any abnormal passenger behaviors such as piggy-backing/tail-gating or reversing direction.

32 Legal Models for Shared-use Supply HYBRID – “Airport joins CLUB Option” Common Use – “CLUB”* model Airport Sourcing – “Direct” model Airport buys services, resells to airlines/GHAs. ADVANTAGES: Airport is in full control as sole reseller of service to airlines/GHAs DISADVANTAGES: Airport is liable to airlines/GHAs as service provider. Less used than other models today – but useful if airport seeks to retain a level of control / influence while avoiding full liability of “Direct” model “CLUB” model but airport joins the group as a non-fee paying committee member. ADVANTAGES: Enhanced collaboration. Airport can influence committee and has voting power – veto voting power possible. DISADVANTAGES: Airport is not in full control as in “Direct” model. Airlines/GHAs buy services as a group/ committee. ADVANTAGES: Airport has no operational liability. Airport is free to sell additional services. DISADVANTAGES: Airport cannot control service. * CLUB stands for “Common-use Local Users Board”. (Not a legal entity.)

33 Legal Issues in Shared-use IT@Airports 33 SUMMARY Shared-use IT infrastructure in airports has been around for decades – and is likely to remain for many years to come, because it’s convenient and efficient. As new “intelligent” IT infrastructure is launched, airports can choose the most beneficial model for shared-use IT for the airport and stakeholders. WALA - SITA Presentation: Legal Issues & IT@Airports | Confidential | © SITA 2012

34 Legal Issues in New IT@Airports 34 FINALLY: SUMMARY of the SUMMARIES Passenger Tracking: Gather & use personal data lawfully & “control” it using access control, etc. Wireless Networks: Accept liability measured against value-add & actual security of the network. Shared-use: Consider hybrid shared-use model to ensure future collaborative decision-making. WALA - SITA Presentation: Legal Issues & IT@Airports | Confidential | © SITA 2012
