Offered by the Vancouver Airport Authority, the new BorderXpress APS self-service kiosk technology enables eligible passengers to electronically complete processing at the US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) inspection process, further speeding up the border clearance process.

"APC will greatly improve our ability to process passengers through the airport."

Nassau Airport Development Company president and CEO Vernice Walkine said: "APC will greatly improve our ability to process passengers through the airport.

"The demand for the destination continues to grow and with more than 3.2 million passengers travelling through LPIA on an annual basis, we want to ensure that their experience at our airport is a positive one.

"Making the investment in 20 APC kiosks just makes sense from a passenger management perspective as the move will drastically reduce wait times in an area impacting more than 80% of our total airport traffic. The technology will benefit the destination for years to come."
