Facial biometric reader Fly to Gate

Providing passengers with a unique, easy, highly intuitive travel experience is a top priority for airports and airlines. We have created Fly to Gate, based on IATA’s OneID concept, the end-to-end airport self-service experience for travelers.​​​​ Thales Fly to Gate solution combines Thales deep expertise in biometrics, identity management, border control, cybersecurity and system integration. Effective self-service solutions that airports and airlines can implement at their own pace are a must considering the rise in air travellers. Fly to Gate makes travelling simple and more efficient by leveraging state-of-the-art technology required by the airport, airline, and immigration systems. Thales Fly to Gate solution enables a touchless, fast and easy passenger journey from check-in to boarding. It uses biometric authentication at all touch points and robust document verification technologies. It can integrate with immigration processes to ensure rigorous security and leverages facial recognition technology to offer outstanding operational efficiency for airports and airlines. The solution is made of strong biometric and travel document verification enablers to create a Digital Identity token ahead of the journey. This digital ID token contains trusted information and provides the traveler with a digital identity that he can use to be identified in seconds at all airport touchpoints without handing out his documents. This feature is how Fly to Gate streamlines operations for airports and airlines to improves security. The F2G back end manages the life cycle of the ID Token in real time and provide passenger analytics to monitor operational performance.
