Turkish Airlines implement new technology in Istanbul, Izmir airports to ease travelling

urkish Airlines (THY) is set to introduce biometric face recognition technology to streamline the boarding process and reduce waiting times for passengers. The system, initially tested in Boston and Miami airports, will soon be launched in Istanbul and Izmir. The face recognition system has already been successfully tested on THY flights from Miami and Boston airports. The implementation of this technology has proven to enhance boarding speed, making it easier for passengers to board their flights in less time. According to Kerem Kiziltunc, Deputy General Manager of Turkish Airlines, the system is expected to speed up boarding times by up to 50%. “As Turkish Airlines continues to lead the way in digitalization, we are now embarking on a biometric journey. Our project, which started in Miami and Boston, has been a great success in reducing boarding time. We plan to implement this contactless boarding process soon at new stations in Seul, Izmir, and Istanbul,” Kiziltunc stated.<br/>
