Good news for those of us arriving from the UK and other countries in the Visa Waiver Program

ORLANDO, FL. – Orlando International Airport (MCO) is the first U.S. airport to welcome travelers from visa waiver countries with innovative biometric kiosks to expedite the arrival experience. These self-service kiosks are now operational and processing international passengers who have Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) approval prior to travel.

The passenger-friendly kiosk enable travelers from arriving international flights to complete their Customs Declaration Form on touch-screens, have passports read and fingerprints and facial images captured.

The innovative system adopts a “land, touch, go” concept that enhances the arrival experience.

“This continues our Board and staff’s commitment to positioning Orlando International as a world-class airport in customer service,” says Frank Kruppenbacher, Chairman of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority. “Reducing the times for arrival processing enhances the customer’s Orlando experience and makes Orlando an even more attractive global destination.”

Good news if it means shorter waits at immigration. However, I typically don't fly direct as usually can get far better prices with 1 stop. Hopefully this will roll out at other major airports soon.

If this takes off, surely it's going to result in many less TSA jobs at immigration?
