Airport Installations
Airports across the country are transforming from simple transit hubs into technology-rich experiences that blend convenience with innovation. At McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas, new seatback charging stations were tested head-to-head, with Parabit emerging as the preferred choice thanks to both passenger approval and staff usability. This marks a shift toward practical upgrades that keep travelers connected while reducing stress during long waits at the gate.
Further south, Brownsville South Padre Island International Airport is doubling down on cutting-edge amenities. Charging tables with silver ion countertops and Qi wireless charging blend function with hygiene, while coffee table designs support casual seating in common areas. Beyond charging, the airport is investing in camera enclosures for biometric capture, FIS podiums for touchless customs processing, and interactive digital signage to boost wayfinding and advertising revenue.
Meanwhile, LaGuardia’s new Terminal B is pushing the boundaries of design by leaning into what it calls “phygital” space—merging the physical environment with digital layers of engagement. The terminal embraces flexibility, modularity, and a sense of place, creating an atmosphere that is as much about brand identity and cultural spirit as it is about efficiency. Together, these airports illustrate how aviation is moving toward a seamless blend of utility, safety, and storytelling, redefining what it means to travel in the modern era.
