SITA and NEC to Develop Secure Walk-Through
Experience at Airports
SITA is working with NEC with the aim of developing a secure walk-through travel
experience at airports.
Leveraging NECs I:Delight identity management
platform together with SITA Smart Path and SITA Flex the solution
would enable passengers to use their
digital identity on their mobile phone whenever they travel at
each step in the journey.
Passengers would use their biometric
identity to check-in, make payments, drop their bag, as well as
pass through security, immigration and boarding by simply scanning
their face at each step. Key touchpoints would automatically
recognize you as a passenger, making steps such as bag drop and
boarding effortless.
Barbara Dalibard, CEO of SITA, said, In NEC we
have another strong partner where together we are able to deliver
to our airline and airport customers a more seamless, automated
journey through the airport. We know that passengers value the
benefit of a truly self-service experience. Leveraging SITAs
common-use footprint in more than 460 airports globally and NECs
award-winning identity management technology, we are well placed
to help our customers deliver a truly unique and efficient
experience in the airport, particularly during these challenging
times where there is increased focus on the health and safety of
passengers.
Using cutting-edge identification technologies and
AI solutions, including face recognition, NECs I:Delight platform allows passengers who
have opted to use the service to be identified quickly and with a
high-degree of accuracy, even when passengers are on the move.
Raffie Beroukhim, Chief Experience Officer, NEC
Corporation of America, and head of NEC Global Aviation Center of
Excellence said: We look forward to this partnership with SITA
and the opportunity to develop and implement the most advanced
platforms at airports throughout the world, thereby contributing
to the digitization of the airline industry and making travel
safer and more enjoyable.
