The platform aims to enhance cybersecurity measures, mitigate liability risks, and boost operational efficiency.

SSi CEO and founder and AirTera airport development vice president Lorena de Rodriguez said: “Joining AirTera means our customers gain access to a broader, more powerful platform—without sacrificing the tailored service, flexibility, or content quality they know us for. Together, we’re delivering something truly transformative for airport operations.”

The combined platform provides several key features for users, including an integrated identity management system (IDMS) that encompasses credentialing, biometric verification, and access control linked to training and compliance.

It also offers real-time compliance and security oversight, aligning with Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workflows and facilitating criminal history records checks/security threat assessment (CHRC/STA) tracking.

Additionally, the platform includes advanced safety analytics and incident reporting through a safety management system (SMS).

It also provides scalable aviation-specific training using interactive learning system (iLS) technology, along with cross-platform compatibility for existing systems.

This integration is designed to facilitate quicker onboarding processes, enhance audit performance, simplify personnel management, and improve risk management, all accessible through a single interface.

AirTera president and CEO Jiri Marousek said: “AirTera now brings together the tools aviation customers need to manage personnel identity, security, safety, and training from one real-time platform—designed for today’s regulatory demands and tomorrow’s innovation.”
