Milan’s Linate Airport and Catania Airport in Sicily are piloting the revolutionary FaceBoarding system, developed by Thales. This technology leverages facial recognition to expedite security checkpoints, creating a seamless and efficient airport experience. Passengers can register for FaceBoarding online or at designated kiosks, simplifying the process.
The Entry/Exit Scheme (EES) will automate the registration of non-EU travelers crossing EU borders. This system will record traveler information for enhanced security and border management. British holidaymakers should also be aware of the requirement for a visa waiver when visiting EU and Schengen countries.
London Heathrow Airport’s TimeSlot initiative empowers passengers to schedule their security screening time in advance. Travelers can book a time slot days before their trip and receive a QR code. This service enables them to bypass queues and enhance their airport experience.
These innovations aim to streamline airport procedures and enhance traveler convenience. As technology and regulations continue to evolve, the travel industry is adapting to provide seamless and efficient experiences for globetrotters worldwide.
