Driven by the new health context, the airlines speed up on the road to contactless passenger path. The latest example is the airport of Madridwhere Iberia recently launched a trial phase with Inetum, Thales, airport operator AENA and the Spanish Centre for Industrial Technological Development (CDTI). The airline intends to make the passenger's journey more fluid by using the biometricsby integrating facial recognition into digital tablets. According to those in charge of the project, this technology would reduce the number of units required, while improving the quality of checks, including when travellers are wearing masks. " The project enables the biometric detection of passengers using tablet-type mobile equipment, which will improve their airport experience by streamlining the entire process and eliminating any physical contact, further enhancing the security of all airport procedures. "says Iberia management.
