Soon you will not have to carry your boarding pass if you are travelling from Bengaluru airport. The airport has revealed that it will become the first airport in India to have an end-to-end solution for paperless air travel.
Bengaluru International Airport (BIAL) has partnered with Portuguese company Vision-Box to implement the futuristic feature project to launch paperless biometrc self-boarding technology, the airport authority said in a tweet.
The deal was signed in the presence of Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Costa.
The paperless biometric self-boarding technology at the airport will be completed by the first quarter of 2019. Airlines like Air Asia, SpiceJet and Jet Airways may be among the early users of the technology.
"The goal of the programme is to simplify the journey by making it paperless from registration to boarding. Biometric technology will identify passengers faces as they move across the airport, avoiding stops and the repeated presentation of boarding passes, passports or other physical identity documents," said the Portuguese firm in a statement.
