Bengaluru Airport to become first in Asia to use face recognition as boarding pass: Details, Aim, Benefits, Significance, Highlights
India's city Bengaluru's Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) is all set to become Asia's first ever airport to introduce face recognition based passage system technology (boarding pass) from the year 2019.
In this regard, Bengaluru International Airport Ltd (BIAL), which operates KIA has signed an agreement with Portuguese software firm Vision Box.
Benefits
Face recognition based passage system will simplify the journey of air passengers by making it paperless from registration to boarding. Biometric technology will identify passengers by their face as they move across the airport, avoiding stops and repeated presentation of boarding passes, passports or other physical identity documents. It will enable a seamless journey for passengers, without obstacles, waiting for lines or hassles, from registration to boarding.
Significance
On complete implementation, this will be first end-to-end face recognition-based walk-through experience in Asia and the largest in the world. It is also one of the most significant steps towards Digital India campaign endorsed by Central Government.
