Orlando Int'l Airport gets biometric passport-processing kiosks

February 11, 2014

Orlando International Airport is now processing passengers from visa waiver countries with biometric kiosks as a means to expedite the arrival experience, according to a news release. The kiosks are compatible with the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) program.

Phil Brown, executive director of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, said the kiosks are a result of a collaboration with Customs and Border Protection, SITA and Vision-Box. International traffic at the airport increased 4.9 percent for the rolling 12 months, officials said in the release.

"This continues our board and staff's commitment to positioning Orlando International as a world-class airport in customer service," said Frank Kruppenbacher, chairman of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority. "Reducing the times for arrival processing enhances the customer's Orlando experience and makes Orlando an even more attractive global destination."
