In 2015, the world’s airlines transported 3.5 billion people with a workforce of 10 million people, managing 26,000 aircrafts for an average of 100,000 flights a day over a global network of 51,000 routes. The world industry supports the livelihoods of 63 million people and underpins €2.7 trillion of GDP. Hence, the aviation industry has a huge impact on the world economy, particularly in the US and in the EU where the total number of passengers travelling by air was 918 million, with an increase of 4.7% compared to 2014.
Thanks to their constant growth in the number of passengers, European and international airports have to address new issues, mostly linked to their financial performance, passengers’ safety and security, their long-term infrastructure sustainability and passengers’ satisfaction.
The project is important for the society to ensure better security checks in European airports as well as improved travel experience to all passengers traveling in Europe.
SECURE_TRAY project aims at expanding into worldwide international airport hubs its advanced, ultra-light and resistant, fully recyclable security trays, customized according to airport needs and equipped with RFID technology, which ensures more accurate passenger screenings. OneTray has developed not only “the best security tray”, but it has also created a unique business model, which allows to provide these advanced trays to airports for free. The company uses the trays as a marketing and communication media for big international brands, the revenues generated are used to cover production costs and the remaining profit is partly shared with the airports.
Thanks to this project, the company is contributing not only to cut security costs related to trays supply, but it is also creating additional revenues for partner airports. The goal is to realize a strong scale up of the project: to cover 97 airports around the world in 5 years and to reach 25% of the market.
