The Department of Transportation (DOTr) – Philippines, is looking at using passenger biometrics to accelerate airport processing.
At the recent Biometric Airport Passenger Processing Forum, Roberto Lim, Transportation Undersecretary for Aviation and Airports Sector said:
“The future is now… biometrics passenger processing will significantly make the Philippine airport experience more pleasant, more efficient.”
Following the Forum, the DOTr will look at applying biometrics at airport entrance, check-in, final boarding pass check to airside, and boarding.
Forum participants included representatives from the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA), Clark International Airport Corporation (CIAC), Davao International Airport Authority (DIAA), Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) with GMR- Megawide Cebu Airport Corporation (GMCAC), and Luzon International Premiere Airport Development Corporation (LIPAD).
Biometric technology is already creating a more seamless experience for passengers, eliminating the need to show physical identification and documents. Allowing for faster movement through the airport, enhanced security, and hassle-free, contactless travel, the tech is speeding up airport processes and streamlining the travel experience worldwide.
