Title: Air Travel Set for Biggest Overhaul in 50 Years With UN-Backed Digital
Credentials

Link: https://tech.slashdot.org/story/25/04/11/2158...

The International Civil Aviation Organization plans to eliminate boarding
passes and check-ins within three years through a new "digital travel
credential" system. Passengers will store passport data on their phones and
use facial recognition to move through airports, while airlines will
automatically detect arrivals via biometric scanning. The system will
dynamically update "journey passes" for flight changes and delays,
potentially streamlining connections. "The last upgrade of great scale was
the adoption of e-ticketing in the early 2000s," said Valerie Viale from
travel technology company Amadeus, who noted passenger data will be deleted
within 15 seconds at each checkpoint to address privacy concerns.
