CIAL 2.0 Set To Digitally Transform Kochi Airport

Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL) is set to undergo a major digital overhaul through its CIAL 2.0 project, developed at a cost of Rs two billion. The initiative, led by Chief Minister and CIAL chairman Pinarayi Vijayan, will be inaugurated at the CIAL Trade Fair and Exhibition Centre on May nineteen.

CIAL 2.0 aims to enhance cybersecurity, efficiency, and passenger convenience. A key highlight is the Cyber Defence Operations Centre, the first full-scale on-premise server facility at any Indian airport. Developed with the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing, it ensures round-the-clock threat monitoring and rapid response.

Technological upgrades include over four thousand AI-enabled cameras, full body scanners, and automated tray systems for security. New tools such as liquid explosive detectors and portable X-ray scanners will also enhance safety.

Operational systems are being upgraded with a modernised airport database, improved flight information services, and a hyper-converged data centre. Passengers will benefit from facial recognition check-in, AI-based baggage tracking, and DigiYatra integration for seamless travel.

The Aero Digital Summit will follow the launch, focusing on future innovations in aviation technology.
