Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, which has installed more than 2,000 beacons, is trialling an Apple Watch app for members of the Privium frequent flyer programme.
Fifty beacons have been installed in Hong Kong International Airport’s Terminal 1 to provide passengers with interactive maps and bespoke directions.
