One ID initiative<\/a> airlines are working with IATA to digitalize the passenger experience at airports with contactless biometric-enabled processes. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPrograms are already in use in various airports enabling travelers to move through airport processes such as boarding without producing paper documentation because their boarding pass is linked to a biometric identifier. But in many cases travelers would still have to prove their admissibility at a check-in desk or boarding gate with physical checks of paper documentation (passports, visas and health credentials for example).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Digitalization of Admissibility standard will advance the realization of One ID with a mechanism for passengers to digitally obtain all necessary pre-travel authorizations directly from governments before their trip. By sharing the \u201cOK to Fly\u201d status with their airline, travelers can avoid all on-airport document checks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPassengers want technology to make travel simpler. By enabling passengers to prove their admissibility to their airline before they get to the airport, we are taking a major step forward. The recent IATA Global Passenger survey found that 83% of travelers are willing to share immigration information for expedited processing. That is why we are confident this will be a popular option for travelers when it is implemented. And there is good incentive for airlines and governments as well with improved data quality, streamlined resourcing requirements and identification of admissibility issues before passengers get to the airport,\u201d said Nick Careen, IATA\u2019s Senior Vice President for Operations, Safety and Security.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
