AI in aviation stayed active over the last 1 day, with five new articles across airport operations, aerospace autonomy, and customer operations platforms.

#### [The three keys to unlocking agentic AI's power in airports](https://www.internationalairportreview.com/article/302708/the-three-keys-to-unlocking-agentic-ais-power-in-airports/)

Airport leaders are framing agentic AI as a real-time execution layer that helps teams coordinate operations, workforce actions, and disruption response beyond static dashboarding.

#### [Melbourne Airport deploys Veovo Intelligent Airport Platform to enhance CX and operational efficiency](https://www.futuretravelexperience.com/2026/02/melbourne-airport-deploys-veovo-intelligent-airport-platform-to-enhance-cx-and-operational-efficiency/)

Melbourne Airport's rollout of a unified operational platform shows practical adoption of shared live data for faster decisions as passenger volumes and complexity rise.

#### [Korean Air showcases AI-powered drones, aerospace tech at Drone Show Korea 2026](https://www.aerotime.aero/articles/korean-air-showcases-ai-powered-drones-aerospace-tech-at-drone-show-korea-2026)

Korean Air's AI UAV and traffic orchestration demonstrations signal continued movement of AI-enabled autonomy into applied aerospace and operational environments.

#### [UK airlines turn to agentic AI and WhatsApp to cut queues](https://itbrief.co.uk/story/uk-airlines-turn-to-agentic-ai-whatsapp-to-cut-queues)

UK operators are using agentic messaging workflows for rebooking and disruption handling, shifting demand away from airport counters and improving service throughput.

#### [Amadeus Acquired SkyLink to Infuse Its Products With Conversational AI](https://skift.com/2026/02/25/amadeus-acquired-skylink-to-infuse-its-products-with-conversational-ai/)

Amadeus' acquisition suggests conversational AI is being embedded deeper in travel infrastructure, with likely downstream effects on airline and airport operations.

##### ***Sams take:***

Today (Feb 25th) was another flurry of activity in AI in aviation. Only a few months ago this amount of activity took a good week to see! So its worth keeping up (at least skimming this newsletter)
