Delta Air Lines rolled out new fingerprint biometric check-in devices at all 50 of its US Delta Sky Club locations last week; it is available free for Delta Sky Club members who are US citizens or permanent residents, and who have registered with Delta’s biometrics program. The new devices provide biometric recognition from a 2-fingerprint reader, redesigned and custom-built around an encrypted fingerprint scanner. Delta describes the “sleeker” device as having “ergonomic finger supports and [an] angled fingerprint scanner to optimise [a customer’s] hand angle and promote successful scans”.” Delta said launching Delta biometrics across a single touch point “is a natural extension” of the biometric test programs Delta has operated recently, including Sky Club check-in and boarding at Reagan Washington National Airport. <br/>
