The Gemalto high-speed passport readers will provide fast and accurate authentication of travel documents, resulting in improved queue times and strengthened security.
Passengers will have dedicated security access, departure gates will be located nearby, and so-called “racetracks” will provide shorter boarding times.
A trial programme will begin in Terminal 2 in partnership with Southwest Airlines, and rollout is expected to start within the next six months.
During the Personal Security Pass pilot project, passengers on select flights can go online and reserve a specific time slot to go through security.
