BigBear.ai Implements Biometric Boarding Solutions for Denver International Airport
29 October 2024 - 12:00AM
Business Wire
BigBear.ai (NYSE: BBAI) today announced a successful
installation of veriScan™, BigBear.ai’s biometric verification
solution, at the Denver International Airport (DEN). veriScan™ is
now deployed at 14 international departure gates at DEN, impacting
the boarding process for over 46,600 international departing
passengers.
BigBear.ai’s veriScan™ offers a seamless experience for proper
identification of individuals traveling internationally in settings
with required security protocols. veriScan™ allows airlines at the
Denver International Airport to reduce boarding times. The facial
biometric process is voluntary for U.S. citizens.
Today, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is
congressionally mandated to implement a biometric entry-exit
system. Using CBP’s Traveler Verification Service, veriScan™
captures and transmits the traveler’s image to CBP during the
boarding process for identity verification. veriScan™ has processed
over 28 million passengers since its inception in 2018.
“We are thrilled to see positive results early on from the
implementation of veriScan™ at Denver International Airport,” said
Kevin McAleenan, President of BigBear.ai. “I applaud DEN for their
dedication to focus on security protocols using innovative
technologies across 13 airlines.”
Travelers who wish to opt out of the new biometric process may
notify an airline official or a CBP officer as they approach the
departure gate. These travelers will be required to present a valid
travel document for inspection by the gate agent and they will be
processed consistent with existing requirements for departure from
the United States.
CBP is committed to its privacy obligations and has taken steps
to safeguard the privacy of all travelers. CBP has employed strong
technical security safeguards and has limited the amount of
personally identifiable information used in the facial biometric
process. Photos of U.S. citizens will be deleted within 12 hours.
Photos of foreign nationals who are statutorily required to provide
biometrics will be stored in a secure Department of Homeland
Security system.
