The acquisition, according to the announcement, will bring new capabilities around biometrics hardware and software, adding border control solutions to the Amadeus portfolio. Through this combined offering with Vision-Box, said the announcement, Amadeus will now be able to deliver a full end-to-end seamless passenger experience from booking to arrival at the airport, through border control and boarding.
Decius Valmorbida, president, travel, Amadeus, said biometrics is a strategic and fast-growing industry, and Vision-Box’s capabilities will allow the company to accelerate its growth in this area. With a portfolio that is deeply complementary to Amadeus’ existing offering for both airports and airlines, he said, the combined solutions “will now deliver a seamless passenger journey from booking to boarding.” This acceleration of the company’s ecosystem approach, said Valmorbida, “will bring immediate and tangible benefits to our customers and travelers: it’s how travel works better.”
