A big uptick in vaccinated travelers. Summer. Airplanes and airports scrubbed clean and waiting for passengers. Did we mention summer? The worldwide COVID-19 pandemic has crippled the travel industry, but as travel begins to rebound, post-pandemic protocols will add new pressures on airports, which must process tens of thousands of passengers from around the world each day. “It is important for airports and airlines to immediately upgrade their technology infrastructure before the summer travel boom, else passenger handling times [will] increase dramatically and create further inefficiencies,” Miguel Leitmann, CEO of multinational technology company Vision-Box tells Runway Girl Network. “Airports and border forces are already experiencing severe pressure, with passenger handling times crossing over six hours in some cases,” he notes.
