A New Era at Airports: ICAO Introduces Digital Travel Card with Facial Recognition

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), a United Nations agency, is working on a new system that will allow passengers to travel using facial recognition technology and digital documents instead of passports.

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), a United Nations agency, is developing a new digital travel card system that will radically transform airport procedures.

With the new system, passengers will be able to travel without the need for passports or traditional check-in procedures, relying instead on digital documents downloaded to their smartphones and facial recognition technology.

Once implemented, passengers’ identity and passport details will be stored on their mobile devices. All processes such as reservations, security checks, and boarding will be completed in digital form.

According to a report by the British newspaper The Times, ICAO aims to launch the project within the next 3 years. This development is being seen as a groundbreaking step that will simplify the passenger experience in air transport.
