France has obtained the approbation of IATA for its One-Stop Security. Nearly most European countries have implemented One-Stop Security to reduce security hassles for all passengers arriving from another European airport. Moreover, passengers that have already been screened at an European airport do not need to be screened a second time when making flight connections. Furthermore, Lyon airport and Paris Charles de Gaulle airport in France have already started implementing One-Stop Security. IATA forecasts that with One-Stop Security in France, it will have an impact on about 6 million passengers. Thus, France will be able to save about US $30 million a year without compromising the quality of the security being applied. In addition, after IATA approve France’s application for One-Stop Security, ICAO is looking forward to promote the concept of One-Stop Security on an international level.
