New Delhi: India’s aviation security establishment plans to set up a massive logistical exercise for domestic passenger profiling to create a database of passengers and enable their instant identification with photographs and other details.
If a passenger books a ticket on a travel portal or directly with an airline, he/she will soon be asked to upload or submit his/her photograph and other personal details.
This data will then be forwarded to the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security to be stored in the database. The ticket barcode will instantly display the passenger’s photo at airport entry points, sources said.
