I-SEC Launches Integrated Services at Frankfurt International Airport

On December 1, 2006, I-SEC started providing integrated services, security and customer service, to Northwest Airlines at Frankfurt International Airport.

These services combine security processing with a wide variety of passenger handling functions, including check-in, gate and other customer-related activities, such as wheel-chair, handling of excess baggage, etc.

This combined service improves customer service and processing times while reducing manpower requirements and operational costs.

This new operation marks an important step in the expansion and quality of services of I-SEC activities throughout Europe.

50 Upgraded I-Box Units Deployed at 10 Additional Airports for 8 Carriers 

I-SEC has recently deployed approximately 50 upgraded, mobile I-Box units at 10 additional airports in Europe and the Far East, serving 8 major US and European carriers.

I-Box is a mobile, user-friendly technological platform developed to enhance operational efficiency. It is designed to accommodate a variety of software packages, meeting airlines' specific needs.

The software installed on the units deployed at the above 10 new locations includes:
I-SEC's proprietary APS (Advance Passenger Screening), a sophisticated rule engine that prescreens passengers in full compliance with US and European privacy and confidentiality standards;

No-fly lists and other lists provided by the TSA, including advanced proprietary algorithms that enhanced matching accuracy and speed;

APIS+, an upgraded version of the API Solution, which also extracts the hand-written US address from the form filled out by the passenger, utilizing sophisticated handwriting recognition algorithms, and prepares it for transmission in UN/EDIFACT format to the USA's Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) or to the relevant authorities in other countries

Automated TravelDoc, which verifies that passengers possess the proper documentation required by all countries of destination and transit, acting as a highly effective fine prevention tool for airlines.

The deployment of the dozens of additional I-Box units at I-SEC stations was carried out as part of the company's ongoing efforts to continuously improve the level of services it provides its customers by increasing operational efficiency and improving the level of service provided to passengers.
