Gemalto, IER Create Complete Self-Service Airport Experience for Travellers

Gemalto and IER have teamed up to create Gemalto and IER Fly to Gate, an end-to-end​ self-service airport experience for travellers.
 
Airport travel is booming; in 2016, there were 3.8 billion passengers and the International Air Transport Association (IATA1) expects this to double by 2035. This means that the industry and authorities will need to deploy automated solutions to optimize the flow of passengers while guaranteeing stringent security.
 
A typical Gemalto and IER Fly to Gate departure solution gives the traveller the choice between mobile check-in or self-service kiosks and includes bag drop points, border control, security and boarding gates.
 
This offer combining IER’s self-service equipment and services with Gemalto’s border management solutions opens a swift and secure biometric pathway through the airport.
 
Gemalto and IER Fly to Gate supports multimodal biometric verification including facial recognition, robust document verification and straightforward integration with immigration systems.
 
The solution offers complete flexibility to meet individual airport operator requirements, and the potential to make virtually all traveller handling processes automatic.
 
“The appetite for automated, self-service travel experiences is already evident in the success of electronic travel authorization, online check-in and automated border eGates,” Frédéric Trojani, EVP of Government at Gemalto, said.
