Airlifters equipped with a face recognition system are now deployed in Paris airports to make "borderless" border controls, said Friday the French Minister of Transport Elisabeth Borne.
Deployment of this new generation of systems Parafe (Automated Rapid Transit at the External Borders) was highly anticipated after a summer 2017 marked by a chaotic situation in the airports where, in the middle of the tourist season, the hardening of controls at the borders caused long queues and the exasperation of pbadengers.
" The government mobilized to have this year a much more fluid pbadage ", badured the French minister, recalling that 300 additional policemen had been badigned to the airports of Roissy e t Orly north and south of the capital. " The objective was not to exceed 30 minutes of waiting for pbadengers of the European Union and no more than 45 minutes for pbadengers outside the European Union. objectives that are held "she added.
These new airlocks, in which the pbadenger's face is scanned to be compared to the photo of his pbadport, allow faster control than previous "Parafe" digital control: 10 to 15 seconds, against 30 to 45 for the control of fingerprints.
Another advantage: 45% pbadengers from Paris airports are eligible for this system of facial recognition (nationals of the countries of the European Union, Norway, Switzerland or Liechtenstein) then that only 10% can borrow the locks of digital recognition.
Fifteen sas are now operational at Orly and 21 to Roissy . " We will have a total of 95 at the end of the year, after a second phase of deployment that will begin in September ," said Edward Arkwright, executive director-general, in charge of development, engineering, and transformation of Paris Airport Group (ADP).
