Reducing touch points along the passenger journey

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed expectations of safety and security, with a possible long term impact on previously routine behaviours and processes. For the aviation industry, meeting these expectations will be critical to allow operations to function as efficiently and safely as possible.

Smiths Detection is ready to partner with airports to help restore passenger and employee confidence through the equipment we supply, the partners we work with and the safety measures we can help put in place.

A coherent response will include preventative measures such as cleaning of equipment, minimising contact between travellers and staff and in the longer term the introduction of new technologies such as biometrics to help reduce the risks further.

Our team of experts can work with airports to conduct a complete review of your screening operation and provide advice on effective measures and process changes – we predict the impact these changes would have on your operation with our existing modelling tools.
