Airasia Receives Visit From The Minister Of Home Affairs At KLIA2

The Minister of Home Affairs, YB Dato’ Seri Dr. Ahmad Zahid Hamidi was at the klia2 today to try out AirAsia’s self check-in kiosk, integrated with INTERPOL’s I- Checkit system. AirAsia Berhad CEO Aireen Omar was also present at the airport to demonstrate to the minister the workings of the latest system, which allows for screening of passport of all prospective passengers against the world police body’s Stolen and Lost Travel Documents (SLTD) database.

AirAsia became the first airline to integrate I-Checkit with their own check in systems during the passenger check-in phase across its entire international network, allowing passenger passport numbers to be compared against INTERPOL’s SLTD database which contains more than 40 million records from 167 countries. The I-Checkit system is deployed across all of AirAsia’s international operations—except at klia2 due to restrictions by the airport operator–covering a network of 100 airports across Asia and 600 international flights per day to more than 20 countries worldwide.
