BIAL and Xovis sign contract
Published on : Friday 18-10-2019
BIAL has always attached great importance to passenger satisfaction. Now, BIAL is taking a further step into the future with the implementation of the Xovis system at eight key process points. By using this technology, the BLR Airport would be able to achieve a higher operational efficiency, optimize resource planning and consequently reduce the length of queues and waiting times. And passengers benefit even more: Not only do they wait less, but the real-time waiting times will be displayed directly at the processing points. This would noticeably reduce the stress related to waiting for boarding. The first phase will be rolled out at the entry to terminal, check-in, security and immigration.
Speaking about the contract with Xovis, Thomas Hoff Andersson, Chief Operating Officer, BIAL (right in the picture above) said: “One of the building blocks of a good passenger experience is to be able to provide robust and efficient operations, where uncertainties for passengers are removed. Partnering with Xovis, will bring BIAL the ability to display live waiting times to our passengers for every touchpoint in the Terminal. Besides full transparency for our passengers, Xovis will also provide valuable data which BIAL would be able to use to improve operational planning and execution. Our ambition is to become the most digitally advanced and efficient airport in the world that will enable seamless passenger movement, and on this journey a world-class queue management system is an important milestone.”
Swiss-based Xovis is a specialist in airport projects and the markets leading supplier of passenger measurement solutions.
