“For airports and airlines alike, the opportunities
created by strong growth in passenger numbers
go hand in hand with the challenges of more
stringent border and security checks,” said Max-
ime Boulvain, CEO at IER.
“This new partnership between IER and Gemalto
squares the circle, utilizing world-class automa-
tion techniques to improve customer satisfaction,
implement consistent identity and document ver-
ification procedures, and maximize commercial
revenues.”
“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,” commented Fré-
déric Trojani, Executive Vice President of Gov-
ernment at Gemalto.
By putting the passenger in control of their airport
experience, Gemalto and IER’s joined-up ap-
proach reduces queueing, as well as the stress
and strain associated with air travel.
“For the first time, our solution offers an opportu-
nity to reap the full benefits of this trend, working
with leading partners whose solutions have been
proven in numerous deployments.”
Airports and airlines also benefit from the en-
hanced customer experience, with travelers en-
joying more free time in leisure and retail facili-
ties.
