How the Use of Biometrics Is Affecting the Air Transportation Industry
Biometrics are unique physiological and behavioral identifiers that include such things as fingerprints, facial recognition, iris and retina scans, and voice and speech recognition. With respect to kick-starting air travel, which has been severely limited due to COVID-19, one key may be expanding the use of biometrics to restore passenger confidence in a secure, efficient, and healthy passenger experience. The author of this article discusses biometrics and air travel.
The increased use of biometrics will continue to have a profound effect on the air transportation industry, and the COVID-19 pandemic is fueling the need to accelerate that implementation. There has been a lot of discussion lately about needing to balance the need for containment of the virus versus restarting the economy. Yet the question is how to accomplish both of those goals. With respect to kick-starting air travel, one key may be expanding the use of biometrics to restore passenger confidence in a secure, efficient, and healthy passenger experience.
