Anger and frustration are just 2 of many consequences. By using Aerochk, these problems can be reduced. The three steps including check in, pass security and proceed through immigration can now be done in less than a minute. Instead of waiting in several security lines, passenger now just walk towards the nearest Aerochk on their way to the boarding gate. Thereby customers need to scan their passports on the right side and place their luggage on the left side of the escalator. In the case of invalid documents, relevant authorities will be informed. All elevators are equipped with cameras and sensors. In addition the passengers´height and weight can be recorded in order to optimize the right balance of the aircraft. The luggage will be scanned and weight as usual. This new innovation is designed for everyone including children, pregnant women, disabled people and old people.
