Touchless Travel Experiences


Quickly Meet Urgent Needs for Traveler Safety

With air travel rapidly nearing pre-pandemic levels and no end in sight for the current crisis, a renewed focus on keeping current and future travelers safe is arriving in the form of sweeping new protocols and practices.

Airport touchscreens show some of the highest levels of bacterial contamination.

Airports globally have recognized that the air travel process is susceptible to interruptions from public health crises and requires significant upgrades to ensure traveler safety. Many temporary protocols implemented to address COVID-related issues are becoming institutionalized into permanent solutions as airports seek to manage ongoing challenges, prepare for future public health threats, and adapt to permanent changes in traveler concerns and expectations.

Touchless Check-In Kiosks

A significant movement is afoot to address risks associated with touching shared surfaces, as scientific studies have shown that disinfection of shared surfaces is only fleeting and temporary, and the potential for transmission of pathogens from touching shared surfaces reaches far beyond COVID.
