Dublin Airport is carrying out a six-month trial of automated border control gates (ABC) – or “e-gates”.

Changi Airport Group (CAG) is to partner with SITA to introduce the latest passenger self-service technology.

Airline baggage handling improved last year with the rate of mishandled bags dropping 1.78%, according to the ninth annual SITA Baggage Report.

By 2015, the way we travel will change significantly fuelled by innovation in IT – used by airlines, airports and passengers.

SITA and NEC Europe have joined forces to create a face and fingerprint recognition system for self-service border control gates.

A “dramatic increase” in the number of passengers carrying smartphones is fuelling demand for self-boarding and flight updates on mobile devices.
