The project emphasizes operational models that include both staffed and automated services, with considerations for ancillary offerings such as traveler’s checks and money orders, and adherence to airport security and accessibility standards.

The procurement process is structured to solicit innovative proposals that align with the airport’s goals of enhancing international traveler services, with instructions emphasizing concise, clear responses submitted electronically.
