Collins Aerospace airport systems general manager Rakan Khaled said: “Collins’ airport solutions are customisable and scalable to fit both small and large airports and we utilise onsite resources to optimally distribute passenger traffic to ensure that we don’t have an area that is congested.

“This helps enable social distancing, reduce anxiety and improve the passenger experience by reducing bottlenecks around the airport throughout the entire process.”
