Airline & Immigration

Around the world, immigration authorities and international airlines rely on Rochford Thompson scanners to read millions of passports, visas and travel cards every day. Over 35,000 RT scanners are installed in more than 60 countries helping to protect borders and increase security whilst speeding the flow of passengers through check-in and immigration control. For airlines the main task is fast and accurate collection of APIS data for the US and other governments. For immigration officers the scanners allow rapid interrogation of watch lists on Primary Inspection lines. With nearly 20 years experience in the travel industry, Rochford Thompson is at the forefront of the latest trends including self-service kiosks, mobile inspection systems and e-Passport scanners.
