Ink Innovation launches ZERO at PTE 2025—a new vision for passenger handling
Ink Innovation will unveil the full capabilities of ZERO, its visionary approach to passenger processing, at this year’s Passenger Terminal Expo 2025 in Madrid.
ZERO reimagines airport operations by reducing reliance on large fixed infrastructure. Built around intelligent software and innovative accessories, ZERO simplifies passenger journeys—from check-in and bag drop to identity verification and boarding.
“ZERO is more than a concept—it’s a fully integrated experience that simplifies the passenger journey through airports,” said Victor Alzate, Chief Product Officer at Ink. “At PTE, we’re showcasing a workflow that airlines and airports can make their own and start deploying today.”
Live at PTE: What Ink will demonstrate
Ink’s team will walk attendees through a live demo, including:
- A new way to check in
- Bag drop using electronic bag tags (EBTs)—in collaboration with the partner platform’s BAGTAG, allowing travellers to tag baggage before leaving for the airport
- Paperless security clearance
- An effortless boarding process
- Fully working with Modern Airline Retailing (MAR/NDC)
Integrated technologies powering the experience
The integration with the BAGTAG platform makes EBTs directly available within the ZERO check-in journey, allowing airlines to eliminate the need for printed bag tags and fixed kiosks. Major global airlines already use BAGTAG's digital tags and offer a proven paperless baggage solution.
For airport operators and airlines, ZERO delivers:
- Reduced amount of fixed equipment
- No costly permanent installations
- Faster, uninterrupted passenger journeys from arrival to gate
- Easy integration with any airline PSS or ground handling system
- Improved space utilisation and potential for increased non-aero revenue
PTE attendees are invited to experience ZERO firsthand at Stand #9713 and book meetings or demos via www.innovation.ink/book-meeting-pte2025
