Gemalto & IER Create Complete Self-Service
Airport Experience
‘Fly to Gate’ provides secure biometric authentication from check-in to boarding us-
ing a combination of hardware & software to automate document & ID verification
processes for airports, compliant with government requirements & provides strin-
gent security for immigration
In 2016, there were 3.8 billion passengers and
the International Air Transport Association (IATA)
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 strin-
gent security.
Gemalto and IER Fly to Gate answers the grow-
ing need for a self-service experience that takes
travelers smoothly from their home to the depar-
ture gate.
The solution typically gives the traveler the
choice between mobile check-in or self-service
kiosks and includes bag drop points, border con-
trol, security and boarding gates.
This innovative 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.
