Bengaluru: From early next year, right from stepping into the Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) up to the point of boarding your flight, you no longer need to carry your boarding pass, passport and other personal identification documents.
Your face, captured using biometric technology, will suffice to facilitate a seamless journey through the airport. Domestic passengers of SpiceJet, Jet Airways and Air Asia stand to benefit initially.
This follows an agreement signed in Portugal on Thursday between Hari Marar, CEO of Bangalore International Airport Limited, which operates KIA, and Miguel Litman, CEO of Vision Box, a global player in electronic identity solutions, said an official release. Portuguese PM António Costa and the Indian ambassador to Portugal Nandini Singla were present. “Bengaluru airport will become the first in India to have an end-to-end solution for paperless air travel,” the release added.
This project will be implemented under the Centre’s Digi Yatra project. “Your face is your boarding pass,” said Marar. “Vision-Box’s state-of-the-art biometric technology, combined with its passenger flow platform, will enable a seamless journey for our passengers, without obstacles, waiting lines or hassles, from registration to boarding,”
