Huawei’s Smart Transportation BU Director of Global Business and Strategic Partners Dr. Rachad Nassar delivers keynote speech
During the Passenger Terminal Expo 2025 in Madrid, Huawei launched five aviation solutions, notably including the Smart Airport Intelligent Operation Centre (IOC) to advance intelligent industry upgrades. Huawei executives, including Huawei’s Smart Transportation BU Vice President Dong Fangshuo, Huawei’s Data Communication Product Line Director of Transportation Industry Solution Domain Yang Guojie, Huawei Optical Network Business Chief Engineer Eric Liu, and Huawei’s Smart Transportation BU Director of Global Business and Strategic Partners Dr. Rachad Nassar attended the launch event.
The five solutions unveiled will lay a solid foundation for aviation to “go broadband, go cloud, and go AI.”
The solutions reflect that ICT has evolved from a side support system into one of air cargo’s core mission-critical production systems, with intelligence being at the heart of the ongoing transformation of the aviation sector. This evolution is prompting airports to rethink how they allocate resources and evolve toward smart airports. Huawei works with aviation partners to deeply integrate novel technologies and create the architecture of intelligent digital twins that synergises connectivity, cloud, AI, computing, and applications. This architecture aims to significantly enhance operational efficiency, business value, safety and passenger experience.
Huawei’s Smart Transportation BU Director of Global Business and Strategic Partners Dr. Rachad Nassar noted at the launch event that the advancement of aviation relies on digital and intelligent technologies. He stated that Huawei is committed to building safer and more efficient airports providing a seamless experience. “Moving forward, we will collaborate with more industry partners who have best practices to establish a new ecosystem for airport innovation and development. Together, we can help customers streamline existing industry systems, maximise data potential, and improve productivity within the aviation sector.”
During the exhibition, Huawei also showcased its range of scenario-based solutions for airport operations, security, and services alongside airlines’ operating scenarios. The solutions ensure smooth passenger and flight flows, improve travel experience, and increase the operational efficiency of both airports and airlines.
To date, more than 210 airports, airlines, and air traffic management authorities all over the world have chosen Huawei. Looking ahead, Huawei will work with industry customers and partners to build a digital and intelligent foundation for civil aviation, develop smart airports that are safe, green, and passenger-friendly, and accelerate the intelligent development of aviation.
