Research released today by global IT provider SITA says that airlines and airports alike are making biometric technology a priority investment. The SITA 2018 Air Transport IT Insights was conducted worldwide and discovered that over the next three years, 77 percent of airports and 71 percent of airlines are looking into the possibility of biometric ID.
“Secure and seamless travel is a must for the air transport industry. It is encouraging to see that both airlines and airports are investing in biometric technology to deliver a secure, paperless way to identify passengers across multiple steps of the journey,” says Barbara Dalibard, CEO of SITA. “We have already seen great success where we have implemented it at airports across the world.”
