Berlin Brandenburg Airport is the first German airport to use Assaia to optimize its turnarounds
Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) is the first German airport to use Assaia's AI-based software solution to optimize its handling processes. In doing so, the airport company is continuing to invest in modern technologies to increase service quality, punctuality and efficiency at BER.
While the most recently introduced digital products at BER focused primarily on terminal operations, the focus is now on the capital airport’s 49 apron positions close to the terminal. Together with Assaia, Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg GmbH is implementing a comprehensive system – TurnaroundControl solution – that will enable handling processes on the apron to be analyzed with the help of self-learning software and relevant recommendations for action to be issued. This will allow work processes on the aircraft to be optimized, resulting in greater stability in the flight schedule and increased punctuality. The product will be introduced gradually over the coming months.
Thomas Hoff Anderson, Chief Operations Officer Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg GmbH said, “An airport as an infrastructure operator contributes to a good travel experience for passengers with stable processes and reliable flight schedules. In the future, we at BER will continue to rely on an AI-based solution to further increase the stability of the network and punctuality figures. We expect the software’s machine learning feature to provide us with valuable insights that will give us additional impetus to further develop processes in airport operations.”
Max Diez, CEO Assaia stated, “We are delighted to be working with Berlin Brandenburg Airport and to be part of the airport’s journey to provide the best possible experience for passengers at BER. Our technology will help the airport achieve its goals, including increased safety and efficiency, more processing per gate and improved punctuality.”
The TurnaroundControl software improves airport operations through real-time transparency of handling processes. Recommendations are made to optimize handling with the help of cameras at apron positions and the AI-based software. These can be used by employees to optimize processes and increase punctuality.

It is our firm belief that the future of aviation should be free of delays.
With this in mind, for the past year, Assaia has hosted a bi-monthly Roundtable for airline representatives to discuss ramp safety, including the challenges experienced post-Covid, such as staff turnover, a lack of experienced staff, and time pressures for the ramp crew. With the recent FAA mandate on Safety Management Systems (SMS), Assaia has just opened up the Roundtable to airports to facilitate increased collaboration.
Roundtable discussions have affirmed the importance of using data-driven solutions to move away from manual monitoring and toward real-time automated intervention to prevent incidents and improve behavior. At the recent American Airlines safety management system conference, Assaia discussed computer vision's potential as a tool to strengthen SMS strategies. Airline safety experts agreed that real-time automated alerts are the way forward to improve safety and facilitate safety-aware behavior. Analyzing and understanding historical data can help advance regulations and standard operating procedures

The use of Assaia's TurnaroundControl has provided our Airline Partners, Ground Handlers, and Service Providers with full visibility of the aircraft turn processes. The data, predictability, and visibility enhances our collective efficiency and resilience at Toronto Pearson. Paired with our A-CDM initiative, Assaia's TurnaroundControl provides crucial data driving A-CDM processes, a reduction in turn times, and a noticeable increase in on-time performance.

The way Turnaround 2.0 uses AI and machine learning to boost our zone controllers' efficiency is remarkable. They can now manage multiple gate activities with more focus on handling exceptions, rather than multitasking.
Turnaround 2.0 is more than a tool for the present; it's a foundation for 'United Next,' growing with us and helping us surpass our operational goals efficiently.
Daniel Reed
Director of Station Operations, United Airlines
Our focus is to use innovation to make our operations smoother. We have selected Assaia because of the capabilities of the tool. But it is also really important for us that it has a good record of successful implementation, so we know it will deliver for us, for our airlines and ultimately for our passengers.
