Growth I
The company was founded in 2014 as an airport operations consultancy. It has then rapidly transitioned to an innovative and disruptive airport operations management software provider, recognized by major airports worldwide for its superior solutions, best-in-class support, and strong value perception. The Company has grown quickly (c. 50% 2019-23 CAGR) and very efficiently since then, and now addresses more than 40 airports globally with renowned customers such as London Heathrow (UK), Singapore Changi (Singapore) or and JFK Terminal 4 (USA) , and more than 50% of 2023 ARR generated outside of Europe.
The product – Better Airport – is composed of 9 modules and allows its customers clients to accurately forecast passenger, baggage, and aircraft traffic within their premises and consequently optimize their operations across several different functional areas such as check-in, baggage drop-offs counterssorting, security scanning, or boarding gates. Through more efficient staffing and equipment allocation, airport operations teams can optimize revenues (as passengers are spending more time in retail areas, or by slotting in more flights on in a given terminal), and decrease cost base (through more efficient staffing), leading to a direct and traceable return on investment.
In January 2025, InfraVia acquires a majority stake in Copenhagen Optimization aimed notably at accelerating commercial development.
