Las Vegas McCarran Installs New Biometric System at International Gates

Passengers traveling through Las Vegas’ McCarran Airport will be able to use the Collins Aerospace Systems’ SelfPass™ biometric system.

With SelfPass, there is no pre-registration required. Passengers step up to the camera for a facial scan to validate their identity against the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Traveler Verification Service, which retrieves their boarding details, and they then proceed to board the aircraft through the auto boarding gate.

SelfPass is already live with one airline following a trial throughout the summer. Wider deployment of SelfPass is set to commence in November with the addition of a second airline. In all, 19 airlines will be operational when the installation is complete.
