The system combines IER's self-service equipment and services with Gemalto's border management solutions to speed-up airport operations.
It allows the customers to opt for either mobile check-in or self-service kiosks and includes border control, bag drop points, security and boarding gates.
IER chief executive officer Maxime Boulvain said: “For airports and airlines alike, the opportunities created by strong growth in passenger numbers go hand-in-hand with the challenges of more stringent border and security checks.
“This new partnership between IER and Gemalto squares the circle, utilising world-class automation techniques to improve customer satisfaction, implement consistent identity and document verification procedures, and maximise commercial revenues.”
