SITA has been the world’s leading IT specialist in the air transport industry (ATI) since 1949. As such, we have been present at border crossings since our inception. Today, there is a growing overlap between airport and border processes and we are well positioned to deal with them both. Additionally, our role in the ATI means we are often the broker between the travel industry and governments – and we have extensive experience integrating ATI and government systems.
SITA offers a secure self-service alternative to traditional resource-intensive, manual border controls. We can integrate biometric verification at the border, identity document checks, entry and exit tracking, watch-list matching, trusted traveler fast-track, and automated border control (ABC) systems. Our solutions are fully compliant with FRONTEX and ICAO standards. And, through our global presence, we can provide local support.
