Thanks to the CAST user community for a great user conference in Warsaw, Poland!

It was really great to hear about projects and success stories ranging from terminal planning and capacity assessments to airfield optimization studies presented by airports, planners, and consultants from all over the world. Also, impressive to see the latest implementations of Real-Time Passenger Flow Prediction powered by CAST Express.

Special thanks to all presenters and the CPK team for hosting the event and organizing a very interesting airport tour.

CAST users from all over the world met at Berlin Airport for this year’s CAST User Conference 2022.

Airports, planners, and consultants presented and discussed a wide range of CAST use cases, best practices, and shared their experience in using the different CAST applications. The presented scope of projects ranged from terminal capacity assessments and airfield optimization studies to real-time passenger flow prediction to optimize daily operations.

As every year the CAST Team shared insights into the latest developments and demonstrated several new features and enhancements for all CAST modules, including the new CAST Airspace extension.

Thanks for all the great presentations and inspiring personal discussions. Special thanks also to the team from Berlin Airport for hosting the event and organizing an impressive airport tour. Two really amazing days!
