Airport BI
PDC Dashboard
Airport Business Intelligence is becoming increasingly important. Airport Council International estimates 67% of world airports operates with a loss. As a result many airports can benefit from more data-driven operational and strategic decision-making.
However, data only creates value when the right people can access it at the right time. This is what PDC’s Airport BI can do for you!
PDC Dashboard transforms your airport data into real-time, actionable insights — empowering you to make faster, smarter decisions across operations and commercial performance.
With live visibility into passenger flows and flight activity, you can:
- Optimise fixed costs
- Unlock new non-aeronautical revenue streams
- Identify inefficiencies instantly
- Act before issues impact performance

Does PDC Airport BI visualise real-time data?
Yes, PDC Dashboards have direct access to live databases, ensuring real-time visibility of performance, costs, consumption, absences, and more.
PDC Dashboard lets you combine widgets, data, images, and explanatory notes into multi-page web reports. You can distribute these reports online, print them, or export them as PDF files when needed.
A key advantage of sharing reports via web links is that they always reflect real-time data. However, you can also generate static PDFs or print versions at any time.
How can PDC Airport BI support your planning
Compared to other BI solutions, PDC Dashboards have special features and advantages when it comes to planning. It is very easy to allow end users to filter for periods, to display data in different time intervals, to analyse data by minute, hour, day of the week, … year, etc. Together with flexible time zone support, localisation, formatting options, Gantt widget and other specialised components, there are many possibilities for working with planning data.
In what ways does PDC’s Dashboard differentiate?
PDC Dashboards can scale from a simple setup on a laptop to a full intranet solution where teams across the company can access and share presentations. In addition, you can extend the platform with new components that combine visualisations with other functionality. Beyond displaying data, the dashboards also support data editing, making it possible to build smaller internal applications directly within the dashboard environment.
Can the Airport BI include multiple data sources?
Management information is most effective when it combines data from multiple sources, perhaps both internal and external. When combined, data can provide a more complete picture, effectively creating an “intelligence” that cannot be derived from any single data set. With PDC DashBoard, you can create views that combine data from multiple data sources (e.g. ERP systems, CRM systems, etc.), which can come from different SQL servers, either Oracle or MS SQL, or other ODBC sources such as Excel sheets.
Cloud-based vs On Premises
PDC BI can be delivered as a fully managed hosted SaaS solution, Alternatively, it can be installed and operated on premises.
How it Works
The PDC Dashboard can work as a standalone solution integrating to all your other airport system or you can combine it with any of our airport solutions.
