Lufthub
Lufthub is a proposed concept for a centralized aviation data and services platform intended to connect airlines, airports, air traffic management entities, ground handling, and passengers. The idea envisions a shared digital layer that aggregates real-time flight information, schedules, baggage data, security status, weather, and passenger services, enabling interoperable applications and cross-organizational analytics across the aviation ecosystem. In industry discussions, Lufthub is described as a neutral, standards-based hub that would provide standardized APIs and data models to reduce fragmentation caused by disparate systems and vendor-specific integrations.
Origin and scope: The term has appeared in industry white papers and conference panels since the early
Governance and challenges: Proponents advocate a multi-stakeholder governance model with participation from airlines, airports, regulators, technology
Status and outlook: As of now, Lufthub remains a concept under exploration with pilots and proof-of-concept
