Airport Parking Distinction

Not aviation operations. SKIDATA serves airport parking and ground access; air traffic control and terminal operations are separate domains.
Not airport security checkpoints. Parking access control is distinct from passenger screening and checkpoint systems.
Not “software-only parking.” Airport parking typically requires orchestrating access infrastructure, plate-based identity (LPR), payments, guidance, and operational monitoring under peak and compliance constraints.
