This study discusses the characteristics typical of an intelligent busuness; a well-controlled and well understood organization able to measure its performance based on factual evidence and base business decision on sound performance indicators. That helps to transfer the existing airport data into knowledge quality to help airport make smart decision. The main objectives of this research is to develop a comprehensive B{u2160} maturity.
