With SelfPass, passengers can opt for a facial scan instead of pre-registration to ascertain their identity as mandated by the US Customs and Border Protection Traveler Verification Service.
The Traveler Verification Service retrieves passengers’ details, enabling them to board the aircraft through the auto boarding gate.
Collins Aerospace Global Airport Systems vice-president Christopher Forrest said: “We have a 20-year history of successfully collaborating with McCarran Airport and we’re ready to help them streamline the passenger journey even further with expanded use of our SelfPass biometric solution.
“SelfPass takes less than one second to capture and process a passenger’s facial image and eliminates the need to repeatedly present travel documents, making the process more efficient for both passengers, airlines and airports.”
