Brazil was the only country in the world that organised two major events (World Cup and Olympic Games) less than two years apart. This brought us the perception that the identification of people at border controls is fundamental. That is why we launched a biometric passenger identification programme. It is not the only one in the world, but it has the advantage of focusing on the integration of the value chain between public and private. Today we have the 4th largest air bridge in the world (Rio de Janeiro - São Paulo) where people can go from one place to another without having to present documents or boarding passes. Just biometric recognition is enough. During the pandemic, this project can avoid infection and contamination. Our dream is that other Brazilian transport modals can join this project and it becomes the biggest Brazilian project of people identification, giving more security and fluidity. This will be a great achievement in a continental country like Brazil. This is our dream.
