Case Study: Albuquerque International Sunport achieves 300% increase in passenger flow and enhanced security with dormakaba's ELBC

Technology Helps Albuquerque Sunport Improve Passenger Flow and Security

Albuquerque International Sunport faced aging, maintenance-heavy revolving exit doors that created security gaps and required 24/7 staffing to manage passenger flow. To address these challenges, the Sunport turned to dormakaba and its Exit Lane Breach Control (ELBC) system to meet stringent security requirements while keeping the passenger experience comfortable.

dormakaba implemented its ELBC corridor solution — combining real-time video analytics, 3-D imaging, infrared sensors and integration with airport security and fire systems — to automate controlled egress and monitor object/thrown-object detection. The system eliminated the need for a stationed security guard (yielding a calculated three-year ROI), reduced false alarms, improved situational awareness, increased passenger flow by over 300%, and provided a low-maintenance, ADA-friendlier, future-proof solution for the Sunport.
