TIN news: Iceland’s air navigation service provider (ANSP) Isavia has adopted MTrust to make a major change in its ID pass management process at Keflavik International Airport.

MTrust is the online identity assurance tool created by Human Recognition Systems.

Being the first solution of its kind, the MTrust system is designed to handle the entire process of airport ID pass application management, vetting and issuance online.

It serves as the single online portal for sponsor companies, airline and airport users to manage and issue people, vehicle, and driver passes.

Moving the entire process online is expected to help save money and time for the airport, as well as offer a more secure, efficient and error-free solution compared to paper-based alternatives.

"Isavia’s decision to deploy MTrust for Keflavik International Airport shows the growing trend toward automated cloud-based systems by major airports to improve security and efficiency in vital operational processes."

Human Recognition Systems CEO and founder Neil Norman said: “We are delighted to be working with Isavia on this project and providing a solution that will deliver increased operational efficiency, enhanced security and auditing, and a positive experience for on-airport customers by allowing passes to be issued faster.

Since 2010 after the volcanic eruption in Eyjafjallajokull, Keflavik International Airport has been experiencing double-digit growth in passenger traffic every year.

The airport, which welcomed about 2.1 million passengers in 2010, is expecting 8.7 million passengers this year, a growth of 2 million from 2016 (29% growth).
