Collins Aerospace Systems, a unit of Raytheon Technologies Corp., presents Kiosk Connect solution providing the first full, end-to-end, contactless airport journey. It eliminates the need to physically touch kiosk screens during airport check-in and baggage drops by scanning a QR code with the mobile device, to connect to a common use kiosk using either the airport’s public Wi-Fi or the kiosk’s built-in Wi-Fi, with no requirement to download any apps. The users then complete the check-in process on their phones and produce boarding passes and bag tags without ever touching the kiosk screen.

The company’s biometric identity management system ARINC SelfPass™, is able to complete a passenger’s contactless journey using a single token ID powered by secure biometrics. This system can be applied to multiple points in the process, including check-in, immigration & security, lounge access, and boarding. These steps can be completed in a matter of seconds with no need to present traditional boarding and identification documents. The air travelers can thus proceed by simply stepping up to the camera for a facial match against the biometrics database.

“When combined with our secure biometric solutions and self-service airport products, this new feature enables travelers to experience a contactless airport journey all the way from check-in to boarding,” said LeAnn Ridgeway, Vice President and General Manager, Information Management Services, Collins Aerospace. “As we work to help the aviation industry rebuild passenger confidence in flying, it’s incredibly important to us to provide solutions to improve safety and which are easy to use.”
