New Terminal One Has Selected iProov, the industry leader in biometric identity solutions, to power its next-generation passenger identity technology
The New Terminal One at JFK International Airport, in partnership with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), today announced the launch of Enhanced Passenger Processing (EPP), a next-generation biometric initiative designed to transform the international arrivals experience at the New Terminal One, the all-international terminal opening at the nation’s largest gateway.
At New Terminal One, Enhanced Passenger Processing (EPP) will be integrated into the international arrivals experience for U.S. citizens to support more efficient identity verification. The process uses advanced biometric technology to help confirm traveller identities in real time, allowing eligible travellers to move through inspections more efficiently while maintaining strong security standards.
To support this capability, New Terminal One has partnered with iProov, a global provider of biometric solutions, to assist with the deployment of EPP in coordination with CBP.
Travelers will not have to enrol in advance or pay to participate in EPP. They will also be able to opt out of EPP, should they prefer to proceed with the standard CBP inspection process.
The New Terminal One is a key component of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s $19 billion transformation of JFK Airport into a world-class gateway, which will include two new terminals, the modernization and expansion of two existing terminals, a new ground transportation center, and an entirely new, simplified roadway network.
The New Terminal One, an all-international terminal at JFK Airport, will be home to leading global airlines including Air France, KLM, Etihad, LOT Polish Airlines, Korean Air, EVA Air, Air Serbia, SAS, Neos, Philippine Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Air New Zealand, Royal Air Maroc, Air China, China Airlines, Gulf Air, Qatar Airways, EGYPTAIR, China Eastern Airlines and Azores Airlines.
