INDIANAPOLIS, September 8, 2025 – dormakaba, the global leader in automated airport access with more than 7,000 eGates deployed worldwide, today announced the North American launch of its newest innovation, the Argus Air XS, at Future Travel Experience (FTE) Global in Long Beach, California, September 9-11.
The Argus Air XS combines state-of-the-art sensor technology, biometrics readiness, and modular design in a form factor that is just 35.4” long – unlocking the benefits of seamless travel even in the most space-restricted areas of an airport.
Designed for today’s self-boarding gates and lounge access, the Argus Air XS also represents a visionary step toward compact, technology-enabled security checkpoints. This ensures that airports and airlines can deliver faster, more efficient passenger journeys while maximizing the use of existing real estate. Argus Air XS helps airports with future-proof operations while giving airlines the tools to deliver a better passenger experience.
“dormakaba has been shaping the future of passenger automation for decades,” said Derek Sarmas, VP dormakaba Access Automation Solutions. “Argus Air XS represents the next evolution, proving that innovation does not have to take more space. It is about delivering smarter, more efficient solutions that align with the global shift toward seamless travel.”
Call to action
The Argus Air XS will be on display at dormakaba booth #E36 during FTE Global. Attendees are invited to see how dormakaba continues to lead the industry in integrating innovation, security, and space efficiency into the future of air travel.
