The Future. Despite privacy and ethics concerns, biometric technology is taking off at both domestic and international airports — rolling out to speed up security screenings, access to terminal amenities, and even paying for food. One day, airports may no longer have the thing that flyers hate the most: lines.
Biometric boarding
Today’s TSA PreCheck will soon be child’s play.
- Major airlines like Delta, American, and United have rolled out facial recognition tech to speed up bag drops and security screenings and gain entrance into airport lounges — cutting down wait times by half.
- The TSA and Customs & Border Protection are each rolling out their own tech as a way to speed up international arrivals and departures — both hope to have their tech in over 400 airports in the coming years.
- Internationally, Germany’s Frankfurt Airport and almost all the airports in China let passengers use their faces for everything once they check in.
A study by air transport IT firm SITA found that 70% of global airlines will likely use biometric identification by 2026, and 90% of airports are investing in the tech. So, even when travel gets stressful, don’t lose your head.
