Shifting identity verification to a biometric- more efficient, intuitive and consistent, Alonso summarizes.first strategy via Enhanced Passenger Processing helps reduce bottlenecks at primary inspection points while maintaining highAccording to SITA, this streamlined process is possible because confidence in traveler identity, says Alonso.the technology creates a unique digital token for each passenger. And the same facial biometric recognition can be used to allow passengers to keep moving when their boarding eligibility needs to be checked.Enrollment takes just a few seconds. You can even take it off site with mobile applications, SITA writes in its brochure titled Your Face is Your Boarding Pass. There is no need for IS YOUR BUSINESS IMAGE passengers to carry a paper boarding pass. It is a self-service EVERYTHING IT COULD BE? streamlining process throughout the airport and beyond.Reduced Wait Times, Increased ThroughputAt MIA, deploying Enhanced Passenger Processing has yielded noteworthy operational benefits. EPP has significantly reduced average processing times while increasing throughput, Alonso reports.
