The global growth of aviation travel is steadily increasing the risk and facilitation of a faster worldwide spread of pathogens through person-to-person and surface-to-person contact at airports. The hard and smooth surfaces of clearance touchpoints used by travellers can be a major contributor to outbreaks such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Reducing this method of communicable disease transmission represents an important challenge for airports and airlines.
Everyday thousands of people enter the EU with border guards working around the clock to protect borders and national security. In 2019 alone, consulate member states processed almost 17 million applications for short-stay visas to the Schengen area submitted by non-EU citizens. Of the 446.8 million people living in the EU, 20.9 million (4.7%) are non-EU citizens.
