As global travel increases across air, land and sea, the industry faces challenges in managing secure, efficient traveler flows while adhering to border regulations. Today’s travelers expect more control and personalized, seamless experiences. To meet these demands, organizations must adopt advanced technologies that streamline processes, enhance security and prioritize travelers’ needs.

Delivering digital, frictionless, secure journeys

The digital transformation of travel is well underway, with technologies like biometrics and identity management driving this shift – areas where IDEMIA Public Security excels. As a trusted partner for governments and private enterprises, IDEMIA Public Security leverages decades of experience to deliver solutions that prioritize security, convenience and data privacy.

In the travel domain, IDEMIA Public Security has a legacy of pioneering solutions that reshape the traveler’s journey, from curb to gate, including critical border control steps. Innovations in biometric identification, automated passenger clearance and digital identity modernize the travel experience. Thanks to this expertise, these solutions process over 700 million passengers, meeting the stringent demands of IDEMIA Public Security’s partners.

Shaping tomorrow’s travel experience

As the travel industry evolves, technology will play a central role in making journeys smoother and more secure. IDEMIA Public Security is actively driving this transformation.

A standout revolution is the Digital Travel Credential (DTC), which enables travelers to securely carry a digital version of their passport on their smartphones. This technology speeds up verification at checkpoints, paving the way for fully digital, secure travel experiences. This capability led to IDEMIA Public Security’s selection as the technology provider for the world’s first transatlantic DTC pilot, conducted on flights between Canada and the Netherlands with the Dutch Consortium.

IDEMIA Public Security is also raising automation standards, providing solutions that facilitate stress-free clearance for families, groups, and individuals requiring assistance – all while upholding top-tier security. This includes testing an advanced biometric solution for on-the-go multi-passenger processing across various contexts. Additionally, the company is developing automated car and bike clearance solutions to optimize travel at land borders.

“At IDEMIA Public Security, we’re proud to work alongside leading airports and governments globally, delivering biometric solutions that transform the traveler’s journey by balancing security with accessibility. Our commitments to adapting and supporting our partners’ evolving needs has fostered long-standing relationships. For example,  we have supported the United Arab Emirates for decades – from launching their first multimodal border control system to now enabling a fully biometric, paperless journey from check-in to boarding at Zayed International Airport,” said Osama Al Makhamreh, Vice President, Head of Sales in Middle East, Africa, Central Asia and Pakistan for Travel and Transport at IDEMIA Public Security.
