Check-In & Security

This section contains a list of suppliers who manufacture products relating to the check-in process at airports such as check-in counters and self-service kiosks as well as passport and ID scanners.

E-gates, also known as electronic gates, are automated passport control systems that use biometric technology to authenticate the identity of passengers. These gates scan the passport and take a photo of the passenger's face, which is then compared to the digital image stored in the passport's microchip. If the information matches, the gate opens and the passenger is allowed to proceed. E-gates are often used to speed up the passport control process, particularly for passengers who are eligible for fast-track services or have biometric passports. The suppliers on this page provide e-gate technology.

A gate desk at an airport is a counter located at the boarding gate where passengers go to board their flight. At the gate desk, passengers typically present their boarding pass and travel documents, and their carry-on luggage may be checked for size, weight and security purposes. The gate desk staff are responsible for verifying the identity of passengers and ensuring that only authorised passengers are allowed to board the flight. The suppliers on this page provide boarding gate solutions.

Queue management at airports is the process of organising and controlling the flow of passengers through different checkpoints and service areas within an airport terminal. It involves implementing strategies to optimise the efficiency of queues, minimise wait times and improve the overall passenger experience. The suppliers on this page provide queue management solutions.

The suppliers in this section manufacture full-body scanners or millimetre wave scanners that scan people to allow security personnel to detect any hidden objects or threats.
