Sydney 2000 Olympic Games The headlines
Sydney, 15th November 2000 - Systems which helped the Australian government to efficiently manage record numbers of visitors for the Sydney Olympic Games are now available for other countries. ‘iBorders’ enables governments to streamline passenger processing while considerably improving border security management.
“The key to the rapid immigration clearance of Olympic visitors is the sophistication of Australia’s electronic border systems and the collection of passenger information prior to travel.” said the Australian Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs. “These systems allow identification and pre-screening of passengers before arrival and this reduces the immigration clearance time at the border to seconds.”

Athens Olympics
�THE NEWS�
When the airport took the decision to implement SITA’s CUSS kiosks to serve the needs of a 100,000-strong ‘Olympic family’ and several million visiting spectators, the system was so advanced that many airlines had to scramble to get their own IT deployments up to speed in order to connect.
“CUSS was a vital part of our Olympic strategy. Athens needed to be able to process arriving members of the ‘Olympic family’ – athletes, trainers, support crews, medical teams and promoters – separately and very efficiently” said the Director Information Technology & Telecommunications, Athens International Airport. “Departure was even more challenging, with around two million passengers leaving by air in the 48 hours following the Closing Ceremony. So we had to be very dynamic and flexible in our management of people flows.”

Special Issue

transport IT specialist SITA, during the recent 2010 FIFA World Cup. The system, implemented in just nine months, successfully kept “undesirables” from entering the country during the tournament.
“We selected SITA’s APP solution because it has been successfully used in other parts of the world … it has exceeded our expectations, ensuring the smooth arrival of the hundreds of thousands of visitors to South Africa for the FIFA World Cup.
“Because only those who were authorized to enter South Africa boarded the planes we were saved the expense of processing unauthorized visitors. It also allowed us to concentrate our efforts on those suspects, hooligans and others, which posed a real risk to the country, speeding up the entry process for the majority of passengers upon arrival.”

11 more countries with iBorder solutions in 2009
Example: South Africa deploy iBorders APP for FIFA 2010 World Cup
The Challenge:South Africa’s Department of Home Affairs had to enhance
their security and facilitation in time for the 2010 FIFA World
Cup at which 500,000 fans are expected.
The Solution With iBorders APP visitors were checked before boarding the
plane in their home country:-This will save the expense of processing and repatriating
unauthorized visitors
- It will also enable the government to focus efforts on those
individuals that pose a real concern – speeding up the entry
process for the majority of travellers
-Through SITA’s passenger facilitation solutions the South African Government saves at least R1.8m a year by
processing more travellers with fewer staff
-Airlines save R54.1m on fines and repatriation costs for improperly documented passengers
Example: Case Study – Kingdom of Bahrain deploy
iBorders eVisa & iBorders APP
The Challenge:Kingdom of Bahrain’s Ministry of Interior General Department of Naturalization, Passports and Residency had to
accommodate a massive influx of passengers over a very short
period of time for the Formula One competition in 2004 and for
hosting the same event every year.
The Solution Visitors can apply for their visa online through the Internet or
travel agencies and they will be checked before they board the
plane in their home country:- Arrivals will be cleared within seconds
- Safe and secured event
- Very positive reflection on the kingdom of Bahrain, which
boosts tourism
- Manage overstay problems
