Seamless Passenger Experience: Aviation

A SEAMLESS CURB-TO-GATE EXPERIENCE

According to the International Air Transport Association's 2019 Global Passenger Survey many aspects of the customer airport journey are lacking in terms of customer satisfaction. Among the lowest-ranked airport customer experiences in terms of satisfaction include immigration (64%), security (66%) and bag drop (73%).

NEC’s technology supports this digital transformation by enabling a passenger’s biometrics and travel information to be captured on a single record. This can then be used as a trusted token to identify the passenger to each stakeholder easily, eliminating the need for repetitive identity checks and ensuring process efficiencies at every touchpoint of the airport experience.

New biometric technology available to passengers creates a better airport user experience and enables a fast and hassle-free journey from the curb side to the boarding gate.

Passengers increasingly desire a comfortable travel experience when selecting an airline and an airport, which can be accomplished with biometric authentication.

NEC's seamless passenger processing solution can be deployed across the entire passenger journey including at check-in, bag drop, security, immigration, lounge entry, retail stores and boarding.
