Matchbox at a Glance: A Game-Changer for Ground Handling Operations
With the aviation and travel industries becoming more complex and regulated, airlines face immense pressure to ensure passengers have the correct documentation.

- Instantaneous Approvals: With a 3-second approval time, the system ensures that passengers with valid documentation are processed swiftly, allowing for smoother airport operations and reducing passenger wait times.
- Real-Time Decision Making: The Matchbox Agent App provides passenger service agents with real-time decision-making tools, offering clear guidance for document approvals or special cases that require further verification.
