What It Will Take to Get Airport Curb-Side to Gate in 10 Minutes
Skift Take
With the advanced biometric and baggage scanning technologies available, someone should look into fully automating the security screening process. It could prove more reliable than some of today’s people-based systems. We’re thinking of you, TSA.
Getting passengers quickly past the hurdles that separate flyers along the way from the street to the airline gate might seem like a pipe-dream for many travelers, but new technology could significantly simplify the process over the next three years.
Airlines and airports around the world want to cut the hassle out of the check-in and security process so that the average passenger can get from the harried curb to relax in the airline lounge or get some shopping therapy in as little as ten minutes, says Matthys Serfontein, Vice President, Airport Solutions Line, at aviation information technology company SITA.
“Such has been the impact of technology on the way we travel already, that for those of us working on the technology side of the industry such an idea is no longer a flight of fancy” writes Serfontein in a recent SITA report.
