In a gesture of international collaboration, ICTS Europe Systems met delegates from Chinese aviation authorities to exchange insights and explore new ideas in the China aviation sector. This roundtable conversation with members of the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) and other prominent aviation stakeholders offered both sides a valuable opportunity to share expertise and discuss the future of aviation regulation and operations.
The meeting, held in London, UK on 19th October, was attended by representatives from the CAAC, North China Regional Administration of CAAC, Chinese Academy of Civil Aviation Science and Technology, Civil Aviation Management Institute of China (CAMIC), Capital Airports Holdings Limited, Beijing Capital International Airport and the British Embassy.
Mark Homewood, Managing Director of ICTS Europe Systems; Will Rosie, Chief Technology Officer; and Cai Xuelin, Regional Key Account Manager of APAC, were in attendance. Will Rosie delivered a presentation highlighting ICTS Europe Systems' 40-year journey in security expertise, showcasing the company's evolution and extensive product portfolio geared for enhancing global travel.
The summit provided a platform for ICTS Europe Systems to introduce its automatic document check technology, TravelDoc, which has already improved airline compliance and passenger experiences for airlines across Asia. The Chinese delegation expressed particular interest in how TravelDoc – which supports Chinese languages and is constantly updated with country-specific entry requirements – can help airlines avoid costly fines and repatriation fees, plus enhance passenger experiences.
“It was a real privilege to meet with our industry peers from the Chinese aviation sector," said Mark Homewood, Managing Director of ICTS Europe Systems. "We appreciated the chance to share perspectives on emerging trends and demonstrate how our technology is perfectly positioned to help Chinese Airlines and Airports to deliver significant growth in international travel."
The meeting was filled with a spirit of mutual respect, with both sides expressing deep appreciation for each other's efforts in promoting cross-border and cross-cultural exchanges. Delegates were particularly impressed by ICTS Europe Systems’ ability to enhance passenger experiences and reduce airline fines, discussing the company's successful partnership with Ctrip and TravelSky as prime examples of effective international understanding and collaboration.
The delegation also discussed key trends in China's aviation sector, exploring potential collaborations with travel agencies, departure control system providers and airlines. With a proven track record of preventing compliance fines and enhancing passenger processing experiences, TravelDoc has already become a valuable tool in Asia, integrating with local departure control system, TravelSky.
Both sides concluded the meeting with a shared commitment to continued dialogue and deepening the relationship between China and the UK. They expressed optimism about exploring new areas of cooperation and promoting more meaningful exchanges in the aviation technology sector.
As ICTS Europe Systems reports significant growth in its Asian operations, the company looks forward to more opportunities to share innovations that benefit the aviation industry worldwide, supporting over 1 billion travellers in 2023 with their travel document solutions.
