Airport

Airport operations and physical security is a huge challenge with billions of passengers and baggage traversing through hundreds of airports and thousands of fights on a daily basis. According to the 2011 World Airport Traffic Report by ACI (Airport council international), worldwide airport passenger numbers increased by 5.3% in 2011 to 5.44 billion and global passenger traffic is expected to top 12 billion by 2031. The booming air travel industry and stringent regulatory requirements necessitates regular overhauls of airport runways and other infrastructure to keep up with current and future demand. Moreover, the continuously growing sophistication of threats are forcing airport to become highly vigilant and are dictating the need for smarter security solutions. Efficiencies are constantly sought to reduce costs. These factors are driving investments to the tune of billions of dollars towards the development of technologies to efficiently and move people and planes in a physical security environment.
