The Special Control system is designed for managing electronic boarding passes, performing multi-factor verification of passenger documents and data, and controlling passenger access to and presence within the airport's sterile area.
Special Control
PAX-Control
Purpose of the Solution
The Special Control system enables passengers to complete all pre-flight formalities using their mobile phones
Passengers no longer need to print boarding passes to move through the airport — they can simply show the QR code on their smartphone screen
Fully automated end-to-end passenger journey from sterile area entry to boarding, enabled by eGates and biometrics
Automated security and boarding procedures, fully unassisted by airport staff
Opportunities for additional revenue generation and cost optimization for the airport
Cost savings from reduced boarding pass printing and extended printer life, plus new revenue streams through partnership programs (airline Fast Track, lounge access)
Tracking of passengers at risk of missing their flight
Real-time decision-making by Passenger Services personnel on whether to continue holding the flight for a late passenger during boarding
Offloading baggage of late passengers to minimize departure delays
Reducing aircraft delays caused by offloading baggage of late passengers

Seamless digital corridor: biometric passenger flow management
We were the first in the market to invest in biometric technologies to streamline passenger screening procedures at airports.
We have participated in key biometric pilot projects at the airports of Ufa (2019), Krasnoyarsk (2020), and Kaliningrad (2021), in collaboration with the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation, Rostelecom, Sberbank, Aeroflot, and ZashchitaInfoTrans.
