French airport security pulls out all the stops
GENEVA – IATA has applauded France’s adoption of One-Stop Security.
Passengers that have already been screened at a European airport will not need to be screened a second time when making flight connections.
With this decision, France is joining the majority of the EU countries that already allow One-Stop Security for passengers arriving from another EU airport.
In France, One-Stop Security for passengers and their hand luggage will be applied to individual airports this year, starting with Lyon and selected terminals at Paris Charles de Gaulle.
IATA estimates that this will impact six million passengers and save US$30 million a year with no compromise on the quality of security being applied.
Said Giovanni Bisignani, IATA’s director general and CEO, “It is a waste of time, effort and resources to ask passengers to stand again at security if they have already been checked by a competent screening authority a few hours earlier.
“This frustrates passengers and drains scarce security resources. The business case for One-Stop Security is clear: faster, hassle-free connections for passengers and lower security costs for everyone involved. There is no compromise on quality.
“I urge other states—particularly the UK and Ireland—to come on board quickly.”
