Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta International Airport has opened a new terminal featuring state-of-the-art Vision-Box biometric border control solutions.
The solutions consist of 32 vb i-match Automated Border Control (ABC) eGates for eligible Indonesian nationals self-service border clearance, and 10 vb e-pass portable biometric suitcases for enhanced mobility in passenger clearance.
The new terminal also includes 32 individual fingerprint and passport scanners to expedite the processing of foreign travellers at manual counters. The integrated ABC solution provides higher accuracy in passenger identity verification at the border, while increasing airport security and passenger processing capacity.
Designed to ease the strain on the country’s transportation, tourism, and aviation industries, while increasing its commercial appeal, the solution is a centrepiece of the Indonesian government’s plan to develop new economic opportunities.
The completion of Jakarta International Airport’s third terminal and renovations of Terminals 1 and 2 will allow the airport to increase its passenger traffic significantly. Already serving passengers since August 2016, Terminal 3 will reach its full capacity of 25 million yearly passengers later this year, while by the end of 2017, the airport is slated to reach a targeted 61 million annual passengers.
“This next-generation Border Control solution is designed to provide the airport, the travellers and border control authority with a modern, secure, hassle-free solution, and improve efficiency and airport capacity,” says Jean-François Lennon, vice president for Global Business Development and Sales at Vision-Box. “Our platform unleashes all the benefits of an innovative self-service immigration clearing process, supporting the future growth in passenger traffic. It adds capacity to the airport’s infrastructure without the need to expand its architecture footprint, thus providing a flexible solution for airport stakeholders during peak seasons and times.”
