Travel experience at Thai airports set for a big leap from Nov 1
Thai airports are poised to enter a new era of air travel with the implementation of cutting-edge biometric technology across all six Airports of Thailand (AOT) facilities, developed by Sky ICT Pcl (Sky Group).
The groundbreaking system will first serve domestic passengers from November 1, followed by international travellers a month later from December 1, marking a significant step forward in modernising Thailand's aviation infrastructure.
The system will be available at all six AOT airports: Suvarnabhumi Airport, Don Mueang Airport, Chiang Mai Airport, Mae Fah Luang Chiang Rai Airport, Phuket Airport, and Hat Yai Airport.
The CEO of SKY ICT Pcl, Sittidej Mayalap, affirmed the company's commitment to modernising airport facilities and elevating service standards to international levels.
"Our goal is to revolutionise airport operations and elevate service quality to international standards whilst meeting the evolving needs of modern travellers. By leveraging advanced biometric technology, Sky Group aims to create a seamless and efficient travel experience for passengers," he said.
Sky ICT has integrated world-class biometric solutions to create a more efficient travel experience. The system is designed to verify passengers' identities automatically at various touchpoints throughout the airport journey, Sittidej said.
The implementation of this biometric system aligns with AOT's vision of becoming a world-class airport operator. It demonstrates AOT's commitment to modernising Thailand's aviation infrastructure whilst ensuring a smooth transition for all stakeholders.
This initiative also represents a crucial step in AOT's broader strategy to establish Thailand as a leading aviation hub, contributing to sustainable economic growth whilst meeting international aviation standards.
According to SKY ICT, the technology will enable passengers to swiftly navigate through various airport processes, such as check-in, baggage drop-off, security screening, and boarding gate access.
By reducing waiting times and enhancing security measures, the biometric system will significantly improve the overall passenger experience. Sky Group's expertise in aviation technology and intelligent management systems has been instrumental in developing this state-of-the-art solution, Sittidej said.
