Fiumicino airport: better flow and security

About

The art of travel

With almost 50 million passengers in 2024, Rome’s Leonardo da Vinci airport at Fiumicino is one of Europe’s largest hubs and Italy’s main gateway. The airport was looking for innovative solutions to improve people flow, reduce waiting times and maintain the highest level of security. dormakaba introduced a modular and automated access control system, streamlining key touchpoints from security checks to boarding. The result? Improved efficiency and security in line with the airport’s sustainability and digitalization goals.

Challenges

Optimizing access points to improve people flow, security and sustainability

Security checkpoints: HSB-M03 gates govern access to the security area, improving people flow and offering better protection.
Passport control (departures and arrivals): automated solutions speed up transit and guarantee compliance with international standards.
Self-boarding: Argus Air airport gates allow passengers to board autonomously, ensuring access only to those authorized by scanning their boarding pass.
Exit and baggage claim: ORTHOS PIL M02 corridors ensure one-way exit from protected areas, preventing unauthorized access.

"dormakaba has contributed significantly to the development of automation services, which are appreciated equally by passengers and airlines."
