On the Ground: Biometrics

IATA has unveiled the first mock-up of the Checkpoint of the Future concept, which is designed to enhance security and passenger processing.

The benefits of a global trusted traveller programme continue to be explored as a means to expedite passenger processing and enhance the passenger experience.

As e-Gates and automated border control systems continue to be deployed more widely, could expedited processing threaten to compromise overall border security?

The use of biometrics will become increasingly widespread as airports and airlines continually aim to expedite passenger processing, according to Unisys.
