Beonic Partners with Queenstown Airport to Enhance Departure Performance with AI-Powered Analytics

For immediate release:

Sydney, Australia – 3rd September 2025

Beonic has partnered with Queenstown Airport (ZQN) to deliver a new wave of operational information, deploying its AI-powered LiDAR technology across five key departure areas. The deployment will provide real-time visibility into passenger flow, queue performance, and wait times helping the airport streamline operations during peak travel periods with greater precision.

This initiative reflects Queenstown Airportʼs commitment to harnessing smart technology to optimise the departure journey and deliver a seamless experience for travellers. By focusing on critical processing areas including check-in, security, and Customs the Beonic platform enables the airport to reduce congestion, improve staffing decisions, and elevate service standards.

“When managing busy departures, historical data alone isnʼt enough, you need real-time insights,ˮ said Juliet Breen, Head of Operations, Compliance & Safety at Queenstown Airport. “Weʼre excited to deploy Beonicʼs technology, which will provide the intelligence we need to make proactive decisions supporting smoother passenger journeys and helping us uphold the high service standards travellers expect.ˮ

Beonicʼs solution harnesses advanced LiDAR Light Detection And Ranging) to create a precise 3D model of the terminal, delivering real-time, privacy-compliant analytics without capturing any personally identifiable information. The result is accurate insight into passenger flow, making it ideally suited for
sensitive operational areas. The system will deliver detailed performance metrics including queue occupancy, overflow, throughput
rates, and wait times enabling Queenstown Airport to respond dynamically to fluctuating passenger volumes.

“Weʼre excited to support Queenstown Airport in creating a smarter, more connected departure experience,ˮ said Harald Kolodziej, VP Sales APAC & Head of Airports APAC at Beonic. “Our platform is built to empower airport teams with the data they need to act decisively, reduce bottlenecks, and maintain
a consistently high level of service.ˮ

This deployment marks an important step in Beonicʼs mission to transform airport operations across New
Zealand, enhancing passenger satisfaction and operational resilience at one of the countryʼs busiest and
most iconic tourism gateways.
