The second inauguration of the face boarding system was held at Linate airport in recent days.. The technology has been Installed at the airport from 2020, But after a few months of use it had been (almost) forgotten. Now after some work it is fully operational again.
In this article:
The operation is simple And I had explained it right in the post-pandemic period when was only available to Alitalia and only for departures from gates connected to the fingers. Once the passenger's face is associated with the ticket, at the special kiosks, it will then be possible to take advantage of facial recognition to pass through airport screening without any need to show documents or boarding passes.
These technologies are used at many other airports around the world, in Italy including Catania had equipped itself with a similar system. And they allow for a faster experience and fewer queues, As has long been the case at border checkpoints where egates read electronic documents and verify, thanks to biometric recognition, the identity of the passenger, without going through any more checks carried out by the Polaria.
Unfortunately, however, the news is for the few, as only ITA Airways and SAS.
So only those departing from Linate with these two carriers will be able to pass the controls showing only a smile, everyone else will still need to have ID and boarding pass at hand.
