Miami International Airport first worldwide to provide fast entry process into USA via its mobile app
SITA enables the passengers of Miami Airport to use the Mobile Passport Control app to quickly tap and clear immigration and customs
Miami International Airport has become the very first airport in the world to offer the facility of Mobile Passport Control into its own airport app experience. This is the fastest entry process programme in the USA.
The MIA Airport Official app can be used by the US citizens and Canadian visitors on arriving in Miami to submit details to US Customs and Border Protection (CBP). It simply receives a barcode on their phone to present for clearance.
The global air transport IT provider SITA has developed this convenient service which is fully certified by the US CBP for the Mobile Passport Control.
The best feature of this app is that it speeds up the entry process into the USA. This new mobile service helps in building the personal travel assistant experience. In short, SITA makes it very simple and easy for the passengers to manage their journey by using this convenient application on their own personal smartphone or tablet.
To meet the CBP requirements, SITA has introduced the most innovative design which helps in reducing the certification process for app developers. This app will let the passengers fill their passport information and relevant details by using their mobile devices. This also let the travelers answer CBP inspection-related questions prior to CBP inspection. This service is totally free to use and does not require pre-approval.
Nowadays, SITA also provides the SDK which is available to the international airport in the USA or to the airline flying passengers to the USA.
SITA is also in talks with the other governments who are looking to digitize their landing card, customs, and border clearance procedures.
The reason for the success of this facility is that it helps in creating appropriate connections through mobile devices which enable direct communication with travelers. It supports secure pre-clearance and helps streamline the passenger journey.
