I worked at a startup on some of the earliest rollouts of Airport Collaborative Decision Making systems: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airport_Collaborative_Decision_Making https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airport_Collaborative_Decision... These are more about timing and throughput in airports, and less about safety critical stuff, and certainly there are new fancy navigation and runway lighting systems to help with that. But what I’ll say is that airports involve a huge number of different organisations, operating huge numbers of systems from different vendors, and until about 15 years ago there wasn’t much joining it all up end to end. To the point that a killer demo early on was merely putting the airport and all the planes on a real-time map. So, it doesn’t surprise me that a lot of the responsibility still falls on humans and processes.
