The aviation industry in Asia Pacific has always enjoyed growth over the past decade. The growth of passenger traffic, aided by the mushrooming of Low Cost Carriers, has put pressure on governments and airlines to streamline inefficient security procedures that has resulted in lengthy queues and long waiting times, sometimes causing flight delays. To cope with the growing demands and convenience of air travel while maintaining heightened security checks, e-Passports, e-Visa and e-Gates are being introduced by most countries in Asia Pacific. Scanning and surveillance equipment are also being integrated into border control systems at different airports.
