Daniel K Inouye International Airport in Honolulu, Hawai’i, has deployed a new biometric arrivals system. Working with the Hawai‘i Department of Transportation (HDOT), the US Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) Enhanced Passenger Processing (EPP) system, powered by SITA, went live in August and early results are promising. Integrated with CBP’s Traveler Verification Service (TVS), the system enables US citizens and, in future phases, permanent residents to be processed in under three seconds while ensuring security. Results show a 25% reduction in wait times and a 74% cut in processing time compared to the previous arrivals process across all airports that use the EPP system.
