Airport Security Gates

Improving the passenger experience in airports

While the global economy may have taken a hit in recent years, the air travel industry continues to enjoy a positive mid- to long-term outlook. In fact, some have predicted that passenger numbers will continue to grow to the point that they will have doubled by 2036. With airports already dealing with a number of factors that restrict expansion, attention must be turned to the best ways to enhance efficiency and optimise capacity.

At the same time, airport security today is a serious concern that cannot be ignored. Some areas of an airport need more protection than others, and all have what is known as an airside (secure) along with a landside (non-secure). High-security doors and portals provide the means to control access to different areas – such as lounges, employee-only sections, boarding areas, baggage control and more.

Our products integrate easily with a variety of access control devices that help you prevent security breaches like piggybacking and tailgating while also ensuring your access control measures improve the passenger experience.

Why Gunnebo for airport security gates?

Along with having an extensive range of airport security gates to suit a variety of applications, we’ve integrated automation into the identity check systems for our airport security solutions. Each of our solutions can also be easily adapted to the specific needs and security measures necessary for each location within an airport.

We provide intelligent passenger flow management for every stage of the airport journey, from boarding pass checks, lounge access and automated self-boarding to immigration and border control, and airside to landside anti-return solutions. And as we are an IATA strategic partner, you can rest assured that we follow their latest safety and security guidelines.

We understand that the landside of an airport has different entrance requirements to areas such as lounges. While security speed gates are a logical option for one, more stringent measures including security barriers may be necessary for the other.

Successful airport security requires a layered approach, and implementing sophisticated technologies for both doors and security lanes is fundamental to a solution that is effective on all fronts.

Security gates designed with airport security in mind

Airports are unique from many other buildings in that they need security gates for a wide variety of areas that have different requirements. One-size-fits-all solutions don’t work in airport environments for a variety of reasons, and that’s why we’ve developed a selection of unique security gates.

While each one can be easily adapted to accommodate your specific needs for an area in your airport, they are also designed with out-of-the-box functionality that is suited to different levels of security and access controls. From pedestrian entrance points and screening checkpoints to double gate interlock solutions that make automated validation, we can assist with anything you may need.
