San Francisco Airport and United Airlines to trial SITA’s biometric system
San Francisco International Airport (SFO) and United Airlines are set to trial SITA’s Smart Path biometric solution for domestic travellers on select flights. The participating passengers can use this technology to connect their driver’s license to their facial biometric scan at airport check-in and then scan their face to move from check-in to bag drop and security check processes. SITA noted that the implementation of the biometric solution is a first for US domestic air travel. It also stated that more than half of the international flights at SFO are using biometrics for boarding in 2020. The new technology allows the passengers to use their face as their boarding pass and helps to reduce physical contact. It also provides an efficient process for travellers and staff.<br/>
