CHALLENGES

Cambodia Airports needed to accelerate its digital transformation and shift from fragmented reporting to a more centralized, data-driven approach. Although large volumes of operational and cargo data were available, they remained fragmented and difficult to leverage consistently for decision‑making.

Key challenges included:

  • Fragmented data sources limiting end‑to‑end operational visibility.
  • Manual and reactive processes unable to easily anticipate congestion or resource needs.
  • Growing operational complexity requiring more timely, reliable insights.
  • The need for a modern, scalable data foundation to support future analytics and AI use cases.
SOLUTION

A Unified Data Platform

A consolidated architecture integrating operational AODB (Airport Operational Database) and Cargo Management System (CMS) structured data into a single, trusted source of truth.

Near Real-time Operational Visibility

Capabilities to support proactive decisions — for instance monitoring check-in utilization and enabling teams to open additional counters when utilization rises.

BENEFITS

The SBI–Cambodia Airports collaboration delivered significant operational and strategic outcomes:

  • Data‑driven operations improving planning, scheduling, and process optimization.
  • Enhanced passenger experience through more proactive management.
  • Increased operational efficiency via automation and reduced manual interventions.
  • Future‑ready infrastructure designed for scaling AI use cases across all airport functions.

"Data was always there; the question was how to turn it into insight and action", said Cambodia Airports CTO Sébastien Lacoin.
