Bengaluru International Airport in a race to be India’s first airport with facial recognition

Around the world, the concept of paperless boarding is still fairly uncommon though widely recognised as convenient. India’s own Bengaluru International Airport (BIAL) has announced its plans of upgrading security measures to include biometric self-boarding technology, or simply put, facial recognition.
In a partnership with Vision-Box, a biometrics solutions service provider, BIAL has plans of rolling out paperless boarding for select airlines starting next year. The initiative is in-line with the government’s DigiYatra scheme that aims to minimise paperwork for air travel under a digital system for airport entry and boarding flights.
Facial recognition seems to be the second most trending term in technology after artificial intelligence (AI). While a lot of airports around the world already implement paperless boarding, India is yet to take-off on this initiative.
