Orlando becomes the first US airport to install automated border control technology

“Land, touch and go” – the innovative campaign of Orlando International Airport is truly making the headlines these days. The global travelers from the visa waiver countries to U.S.A. will have the advantage of
automated border control technology when they touch the Orlando International Airport. Orlando International Airport is the first US airport to take advantage of this automated border control technology.


Travelers from the countries with visa waivers to US will benefit from this new technology rollout, which comes in the form of SITA’s Automated Passport Control (APC) kiosks. The airport is promoting it as “land, touch and go,” emphasizing the reduction of friction for international arrivals.



International passengers arriving from the 37 visa waiver countries will be processed via these APC kiosks, ideally leading to shorter, faster moving lines as there will be more touch points for immigration processing than in the traditional solo border agent scenario.


There are currently 10 APC kiosks in Orlando and are available for US citizens, Canadians and other citizens of the visa waiver countries.
