In this direction, we are able to offer our passengers a unique digital travel experience at Istanbul Airport thanks to the smart solutions we offer, matching the vision of SESAR (Single European Sky ATM Research) and benefiting from the wide range of technology. In the near future, our main goal is to increase our speed in digital integration and move airport operations to the point of 'technological management'. The first step of this process will be the digital wallet application. This application will be followed by a commercial platform called Ist-buy. We can call this platform the 'marketplace' of the airport. All of our stores within our airport will have the opportunity to market their products here. The most ambitious technological application planned to be implemented in 6 months at Istanbul Airport will be biometry, that is, the opportunity to travel and shop with face data. With the application, the passenger's ticket, passport and digital biometric data will be matched over the Istanbul Airport mobile application. In addition, on the way we set off with the concept of "Smart Airport", artificial intelligence supported smart sohbet system project, we will provide our passengers with instant notifications at our airport and 7/24 support. Since the first day, we have aimed to continuously increase efficiency by using artificial intelligence at every point of our business processes. With the Internet of Things (IoT) technology, we have also implemented tracking mechanisms at our airport. As a smart, sustainable and people-oriented airport, I sincerely believe that success is primarily through passenger satisfaction. To make this satisfaction sustainable is to use the opportunities offered by the digital world beyond our imagination from time to time, and to use them correctly and effectively.
