IDEMIA Public Security, the leading provider of secure and trusted biometric-based solutions, and Elenium, a global leader in aviation self-service automation, are joining forces to develop a secure, seamless biometric airport experience.
Having signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU), the companies’ partnership aims to help transform air travel through the next wave of innovation, enabling airports and airlines to elevate the experience offered along the entire journey.
The partnership combines Elenium’s self-service automation platform with IDEMIA Public Security’s biometric passenger processing and baggage identification technologies. Together, the companies aim to:
- Create a unified identity layer across every airport touchpoint, from check-in and bag drop, through security, to airline and airport lounge access and boarding.
- Digitalise and automate baggage management processes through the use of AI-powered identification solutions.
The MoU formalises a shared commitment to digitalise air travel, improve journeys, all while maintaining the highest standards of privacy, security, and regulatory compliance.
Aaron Hornlimann, co-founder and CEO of Elenium, said: “True self-service means technology does the work – not passengers. Together, we’re building a future where we accelerate how passengers move through terminals effortlessly, safely and with complete confidence.”
Tim Ferris, Global Head, Travel and Transport, IDEMIA Public Security, said: “This partnership brings together two organisations committed to delivering safer travel that is accessible, secure, and inclusive and private by design.
“Elenium’s proven automation capabilities, paired with IDEMIA Public Security’s solutions, will deliver a unified, world-class solution that airports, airlines and passengers can depend on.”
