As tweeted by Rajiv Gandhi Hyderabad International Airport, Hyderabad, soon the passengers will be free from the hassle of showing their tickets and ID cards at the Hyderabad Airport. “Facial recognition is expected to be fully functional from March onwards,” it said.
Currently, in a testing stage, the authorities believe that facial recognition technology will provide a faster and seamless check-in making it hassle-free and quicker than ever before. The airport is currently testing the technology while running staff trials and the expected to be completed soon for the flyers to avail thereafter.
The aviation industry has been aggressively working on adopting technologies such as analytics and artificial intelligence, and this is one of the moves that explore facial recognition system at a whole new level. Last year the Ministry of Civil Aviation announced a DigiYatra platform that aims at bringing paperless travel on the go. The ‘DigiYatra’ is an industry-led initiative co-ordinated by the Ministry in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Digital India’s vision to transform the nation into a digitally empowered society.
