Hakimo announced that Punta Gorda Airport (PGD) has deployed the Hakimo solution to enhance security and support Transportation Security Administration (TSA) compliance efforts.
One
of the fastest growing airports in the United States, PGD offers
commercial service to more than 50 destinations in addition to

requirements by applying artificial intelligence to the airport?s
existing access control and video surveillance systems.
