Initially established as a TSA-approved fingerprinting company in 2006, our journey began with a focus on providing secure, efficient, and personalized fingerprint security services to professionals in the aviation sector. Recognizing the critical need for stringent security measures in the industry, we expanded our offerings to include specialized aviation security training. This evolution has positioned SAFEsky as a leading voice and go-to expert in the aviation security landscape.
With a team of highly skilled professionals and technological innovation, SAFEsky has pioneered cutting-edge solutions that enhance the safety and security of the skies. Our industry expertise and unwavering dedication to airline safety played a crucial role in helping two airlines achieve their Air Operator’s Certificates, streamline airline identification processes, and improve background checks to strengthen security protocols.
In response to the escalating reports of unruly passenger incidents on airlines, SAFEsky made a significant milestone in 2021 by launching Secure Skies to address these emerging challenges. To support our mission, we maintain a comprehensive database of airline passengers denied boarding due to security or safety violations. Embracing a collaborative approach, we share crucial data among airlines to strengthen security measures and ensure a safer travel experience for all.
As the industry continues to evolve, SAFEsky continues to embrace innovation and push the boundaries of aviation security, ensuring the expansive skies remain a haven of security for passengers, crew, and all industry stakeholders. Join us as we shape the future of aviation security globally.
