Netherlands-based digital security company Gemalto has collaborated with IER, an airport and railway terminal maker, to develop a new complete self-service airport experience for passengers.
The Gemalto and IER Fly to Gate system has been designed to address the increasing demand for a self-service experience that would enable passengers to travel easily and smoothly from their home to airport departure gates.

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.”
