Assess risk at departure, not at arrival
Arrival-only checks can't keep up with today's volumes and faster-changing entry rules. SITA Advanced Passenger Processing (APP) uses iAPI to deliver quick and decisive boarding directives before anyone boards.
Confirm entry eligibility before anyone boards
Governments need to confirm travelers meet entry requirements before they board — not only on arrival. When they can't, inadmissible travelers create avoidable disruption, cost, and pressure at the border.
SITA APP enables real-time decisions at check-in by validating identity, documents, visas, and eligibility before departure. Airlines board only authorized travelers. Governments apply entry rules earlier and more consistently — and can update policies quickly as requirements change.
Update boarding rules in real time as situations change
With national system integration and APP responses in under 3 seconds, every boarding decision is immediate and consistent.
Stop ineligible travelers from reaching the border
Ensure only authorized travelers can board and prevent high-risk individuals from entering or leaving your country, across all border types.
