Vancouver Airport Authority

BorderXpress is the world’s first self-service border control solution, designed to reduce wait times for every traveller – not just a select few. Our solution accepts all passports, without any fees or prior registration requirements, to expedite processing and reduce border wait times by up to 50 per cent.

BorderXpress automates the administrative functions of border control with two simple steps. Travellers complete the data-entry function themselves using an intuitive, touch-screen kiosk, and officers then verify the documents for final admission. The kiosk and software sends collected information and biometrics via encrypted transfer to a border control agency, which assesses the data and returns a government response. With quicker processing time and higher throughput, airports require 50 per cent less space for queuing.

Not only did Vancouver Airport Authority invent the technology, we are also the largest provider of non-registered self-service border solutions with more than 1,200 kiosks operating in major international airports in Canada, the United States, Europe and the Pacific. Our solution can be configured to meet the immigration needs of virtually any government in the world and we are working with other governments now to bring our innovative solution to their airports.
