Dartagnan sponsors the Registered Traveler
Forum
Dartagnan, a specialist in programs that provide frequent
travelers with on airport expedited facilities such as fast border passage and security
checks using biometric identifiers, announces today that it is a Gold Sponsor of the
Registered Traveler Forum.
Dartagnan will feature prominently at
the two-day international conference and exhibition
taking place at the Marriott Paris Rive Gauche in Paris
on 28 February and 1 March.
Frits Bosch, managing director of Schiphol
Group’s full daughter company Dartagnan BV, will look
back on five years of Privium operation and share his
views on future developments for automated border passage
and international Registered Traveler programs with
the high-caliber delegates of the “Registered Traveler
programs in the real world” session on 28 February.
“In the late 90’s Schiphol Group decided
to develop the Privium program to anticipate the needs
of frequent travelers for value added services on the
airport. Passenger profiles showed that a relatively
small number of very frequent travelers constituted
an extremely important passenger group for Schiphol
airport and that commercial services could be created
to facilitate their airport experience. It added to
the overall quality perception of the airport and strengthened
the customer relationship,” comments Frits Bosch. “Privium
is a great success and was the first of its kind in
a market which is at present developing quickly. We
recently opened up Saphire, a similar program in Indonesia,
and we are making our considerable experience and programs
available to parties that want to create Registered
Traveler programs. We are involved in the development
of a number of international activities whereby we focus
on providing travelers a seamless experience across
airports, thus offering them interoperable expedited
facilities.”
Organized by Wise Media, the Registered
Traveler Forum welcomes government representatives,
border security and immigration officials, law enforcement
and asylum authorities, airport authorities, frequent
flyer program operators, embassy and consulate personnel,
supporting organizations, as well as technology vendors
and experts.
