EasyJet: passport scanning as easy as an app

The EasyJet application now includes a "passport scanning" function to make check-in easier for business travellers. A first in Europe.

Following in the footsteps of United, which introduced a new passport scanning function on its mobile application this summer, easyJet is breaking new ground in the European market. On 13 October, the airline announced the integration of this function, designed to simplify check-in for passengers. Passengers can now "scan" their passport details using the camera on their smartphone (iOS or Android). Our new passport scanning function will save time for the millions of users of our application (...) says James Millett, Head of Digital at easyJet. We have developed this new feature in partnership with (...) Jumio to ensure that information can be scanned easily and securely".
