ANNAPOLIS, Md., Sept. 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Passengers traveling through Las Vegas' McCarran Airport can look forward
to a new streamlined journey with Collins Aerospace Systems'
SelfPass™ biometric solution. The solution, which is
set to be installed at all of McCarran's international gates, will
be available for demonstration at the Annual Airports Council
International-North America conference this week in
Tampa, Florida. Collins Aerospace
is a unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX).
With SelfPass, there is no pre-registration required. Passengers
simply step up to the camera for a facial scan to validate their
identity against the U.S. Customs and Border
Protection Traveler Verification Service, which retrieves
their boarding details, and they then proceed to board the aircraft
through the auto boarding gate.
"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," said Christopher
Forrest, vice president of Global Airport Systems for
Collins Aerospace. "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."
SelfPass is already live with one airline following a trial
throughout the summer. Wider deployment of SelfPass is set to
commence in November with the addition of a second airline. In all,
19 airlines will be operational when the installation is
complete.
In additional to SelfPass, Collins Aerospace has been a long
term provider of other key solutions that improve efficiencies at
McCarran Airport. The ARINC MUSE Common-use passenger
processing solution enables multiple airlines to share check-in
desks and departure gates, the ARINC BagLink™ supports efficient
and accurate baggage sorting and loading, and ARINC supplies
self-service kiosks throughout the facility.
