BigBear.ai (NYSE: BBAI), a leading provider of mission-ready AI solutions for national security, today announced deployments of Enhanced Passenger Processing (EPP) at the Nashville International Airport® (BNA®) International Arrivals Facility, owned and operated by Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority (MNAA). With veriScan®, BigBear.ai’s biometric technology supporting EPP, U.S. citizens arriving at BNA can now move through customs more quickly and seamlessly, enhancing both the traveler experience and operational efficiency.
BNA joins a growing number of major airports and ports of entry implementing EPP to streamline international arrivals. Since launch, the solution has helped reduce average processing times, ease congestion during peak arrival periods, and enhance both operational efficiency and passenger satisfaction.
“BigBear.ai’s advanced identity verification tools streamline passenger processing while giving officers real-time insights to make faster, more informed decisions,” said Kevin McAleenan, CEO of BigBear.ai. “We are proud to partner with the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to deliver AI-driven solutions that both strengthen security and transform the arrival experience for travelers.”
“The integration of Enhanced Passenger Processing in collaboration with BigBear.ai demonstrates our dedication to deploying secure, cutting-edge solutions that enhance the arrival experience,” said Doug Kreulen, president and CEO of the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority. “The airport authority invested in this new technology to reduce CBP wait times, further strengthening our commitment to deliver a world-class travel experience, keeping BNA among the most passenger-friendly airports in the United States.”
As international travel continues to grow, EPP can help enable faster identity checks without compromising security. The system captures a live facial image and compares it to existing records, allowing eligible U.S. citizens to bypass presenting a physical passport. Travelers are either verified or referred to an officer for additional screening, accelerating processing while maintaining security standards.
