Two airports in Indonesia have rolled out the Seamless Corridors from tech company Aradeus, which capture biometrics from "in motion" passengers as they pass through a wide hallway, doing away with the need to line up to have their passport and arrivals card manually checked. They're now operational at Jakarta and Surabaya airports, with more to come.

"The Seamless Corridor is the 'jewel in the crown' of our end?to?end portfolio for seamless travel, helping to remove friction and queues at the border," said Rudy Daniello, Executive Vice President of AirOps at Amadeus. "In combination with innovations in digital identity and biometrics at key airport service points, it's finally possible for airlines, airports and governments to provide a truly seamless, secure experience, free from document checks, queues and barriers."

Now, you might be wondering how the system can gather enough intel from a passenger simply walking down a corridor after disembarking the plane. There is still documentation required, however, this is done through the All Indonesia app prior to flying, much like the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) visa waiver program that eligible international travelers fill out in their home country before flying into the US. Except, unlike that system, there's no additional passport check as you navigate through the immigration area after you land.

While it's undoubtedly a privilege to fly across the world, there's something quite soul-crushing about finally getting off a 14-hour flight after being cooped up in economy with a few hundred strangers, only to be funneled into a queue already full of other travelers whose planes have all arrived at similar times. Adding to the challenge is that it's often 6 am or the middle of the night local time, there are no pens in sight to fill out physical arrival cards, no Wi-Fi to do it electronically, and language barriers, which add up to further delays in making it through to the other side, in search of a strong coffee and transport to your accommodation. Seamless Corridors aim to do away with all of this, letting you go from plane to taxi with only one brief stop to pick up any luggage.

In Indonesia, Amadeus has partnered with Sinergi Teknoglobal Perkasa and they now have three Seamless Corridors in operation across the two airports.

"Our collaboration with Amadeus and the Indonesia Immigration Department has been a true example of partnership in action," said Andy Syach, CEO of Sinergi Teknoglobal Perkasa. "By combining global expertise with local innovation, we are not only delivering world?class border solutions but also empowering Indonesia teams through technology transfer and capability building. This close cooperation ensures that the solutions deployed today will continue to evolve and serve the nation's long?term vision for smart, secure, and seamless travel."
