Who We Are
Innovative Travel Solutions (ITS) is the innovation team at Vancouver International Airport (YVR), voted North America’s Best Airport for 10 straight years by Skytrax World Airport Awards.
As a not-for-profit, community-based organization, we are not government-run or beholden to shareholders which allows us to take an entrepreneurial approach to solving airport challenges. If we see success in our own airport and think it will help other airports, we launch it to the international market.
We are the industry’s largest provider of kiosk-based border control solutions, with demonstrated experience having helped more than 250 million passengers safely clear the border.
We first implemented the kiosks at YVR in 2009 and saw incredible success, revolutionizing the industry by reducing passenger wait times by more than 60 per cent, and causing other airports to quickly become interested in this technology. To date, we have sold more than 1,700 BorderXpress kiosks at 43 airport, seaport and onboard sites around the world.
We offer a unique industry perspective like no other technology provider. We understand the needs of passengers and airports and how to create a seamless experience while achieving lower operating costs and greater efficiencies.
We have more than 10 years of experience designing and perfecting kiosk-based customer border control solutions, with proven expertise in user experience, layout and passenger flow analysis. And we have the advantage of using YVR as a live test site to build the best possible technology prior to going to market.
As we transform the airport experience of tomorrow, we will continue to deliver purposeful solutions that are tailored to each airport’s and immigration authority’s unique needs and regulatory environment.
