    Limiting security wait times at airports improves operational efficiency and passenger sentiment 

     

    Challenge

    Unpredictable wait times at security checkpoints can have a significant negative impact on a wide range of stakeholders, including passengers, airport operators, government authorities, retailers, and airlines. A vital process in the passenger journey, security checkpoints present airport operators interested in streamlining processes with a unique set of challenges. 

    • Manual counting at security checkpoints is inefficient and ineffective for operators interested in  
    • Speeding up security controls without disrupting the process 
    • Evaluating performance of individual lanes and the entire security area 
    • Encouraging collaboration among different stakeholders 
    • Managing passenger stress levels by keeping them informed of wait times 


    Solution

    Operators need an automated data capture system that can provide real-time and historical insights to improve performance, without offending data privacy rules.  

    The best option is a precise, resilient system that can handle a wide range of applications. An automated tool can help operators: 

    • Determine queue length and wait times per security lane 
    • Measure process time, including subprocesses such as bag inspection 
    • Identify overflow into other areas such as check-in  
    • Improve passenger satisfaction by keeping them informed of wait times
       


    Benefits

    An analytics protocol covering the entire security area directly benefits passengers, , but delivers immense value to airport operators. Some of the most important benefits that can be realized with a robust solution include:  

    • Transparent communication with stakeholders and service providers 
    • Optimized staff and security lane planning based on accurate historic data  
    • Improved load-balancing by communicating predictive wait time and lane alternatives 
    • Enforcement of Service Level Agreements based on accurate wait time data  
    • Increased leisure time and airside spend opportunities for passengers
