Globalbit is an Israeli custom software development company. This page is a case study about Israeli Government / Airport Authority (Government & Travel). Globalbit built the Check2Fly system that reopened Israel's borders during COVID-19, processing hundreds of thousands of travelers with zero security incidents under extreme time pressure. Key facts: System built under extreme time pressure, hundreds of thousands of travelers processed, zero security incidents, enabled Israel to reopen international flights.

The National Digital Platform That Reopened Israel’s Borders
Globalbit architected and deployed Check2Fly as a national mission-critical platform. Built end-to-end in under three months, it handled hundreds of thousands of daily travelers across every Israeli airport and border crossing.
Israel Needed a National Border Control System in 90 Days
International travel had become a regulatory mess. Every country had different entry rules, and Israel's changed weekly. Testing, vaccination status, health declarations, quarantine exceptions — all of it needed to be verified at the gate, in real time, for every person crossing the border. There was no system. The deadline was fixed. And failure meant the borders stay closed.
- -Rules that changed every week — New variants meant new entry requirements, new testing protocols, new exceptions. The government updated travel policy almost weekly. Whatever we built had to handle that without going offline.
- -One breach shuts the border — We were handling medical records for every person entering or leaving the country. GDPR, HIPAA, Ministry of Health integration. A single leak would have stopped international flights.
- -Every airport, every crossing, day one — Ben Gurion, Ovda, Ramon, land crossings. 20+ testing stations, each with queues, labs, and staff. The system couldn't launch in one location and expand later. It had to work everywhere from the start.
- -Three months. Non-negotiable. — Israel's economy was bleeding. Tourism was dead. The government gave a fixed date for reopening borders. We had 90 days from first meeting to live deployment. Miss the date, and the country stays closed.
"The regulations changed every week. We needed a system that could absorb constant change without downtime and without compromising security."
