Day 226 March
IATA Day
- Next-generation passenger security – the evolution is under way
Synopsis: Today’s passenger and cabin baggage security screening works – but at great cost to authorities, the aviation industry and passengers. Given the predicted growth in air travel, continuously evolving security threats, and passengers becoming increasingly dissatisfied with queues and intrusive measures, the industry is in agreement that today’s model is unsustainable in the long term. Introducing risk-based security concepts, advanced screening technologies and process innovation, Smart Security envisions a continuous journey from kerb to airside, where passengers proceed through security with minimal need to divest, security resources are allocated based on risk, and airport amenities are maximised.
Audience will learn:
- Programme status and next steps
- Advancements in screening technology: what’s right around the corner, and how it will evolve further in the foreseeable future
- How technology-based process innovation will drive significant efficiencies
- Risk-based security concepts and differentiated screening: why they need to be part of the mix
