ACT Insights: AAAE's Flagship Artificial Intelligence Initiative

Advancing Airport Innovation Through AI-Powered Research

ACT Insights is an AI-enabled research and business intelligence initiative developed through AAAE's Airport Consortium on Transformation (ACT), in collaboration with PA Consulting. Designed specifically for the airport industry, ACT Insights leverages a growing repository of publicly available airport procurement documents to help airports research projects, explore industry practices, and develop scopes of work more efficiently. The initiative aims to make valuable industry knowledge more accessible, reduce duplicative research efforts, and help airports make more informed decisions by learning from the experiences of their peers. While its initial focus is on procurement research and scope-of-work development, the longer-term vision is to establish a comprehensive business intelligence resource for the airport industry. Currently in its pilot phase, ACT Insights is being developed with direct input from participating airports across the country.

ACT Insights Advisory Leadership Team

The ACT Insights Advisory Leadership Team brings together representatives from participating pilot airports to help guide the platform's continued development. Meeting biweekly with AAAE and PA Consulting, the team provides feedback on platform functionality, identifies opportunities for improvement, and helps prioritize enhancements that reflect the real-world needs of airport professionals. Through this collaborative approach, ACT Insights is being shaped by the airports that will ultimately use it, ensuring the platform's development remains grounded in practical applications and industry needs.
