Transforming security, efficiency and passenger
experience with facial recognition technology.
Your Face Is Your Boarding Pass
Despite the global travel surge, passengers today expect a faster, more secure and convenient experience. Airlines and airports must adapt and enhance efficiencies to meet these expectations.
Facial recognition technology is leading the transformation, offering secure and frictionless journeys that cater to the needs of both passengers and aviation industry stakeholders.
Powering a Secure, Seamless Travel Journey
Integrating facial recognition cameras into self-service platforms, such as eGates and kiosks, accelerates passenger verification by up to 5x, delivering frictionless passage with an extra layer of security.
It all starts with self-enrollment — linking a passenger’s face with their passport and boarding pass to create a secure travel credential. From there, passengers move effortlessly through airport checkpoints with a quick face scan.
Your face is your boarding pass. It’s that simple!
Overcoming the Facial Recognition Challenges in Air Travel
While facial recognition offers remarkable benefits, airports and airlines face unique challenges to fully unlocking its potential:
- Varying lighting conditions
- Diverse traveler demographics
- High throughput demand
- Spoofing and security risks
- Data privacy concerns
Discover how to ensure your biometric system delivers reliable and accurate passenger verification amid challenging air travel settings in our white paper, Facial Recognition in Self-Service: Unlocking Its Full Potential.
A Camera Built for High-Performance Facial Recognition
The success of a facial recognition system hinges on one crucial factor: high-quality images. Capturing clear, usable images is the first step for accurate passenger verification.
Backed by 30+ years of biometric expertise, the HID U.ARE.U™ Camera Identification System is engineered to excel in “must-work” environments. It captures clear images and delivers precise matching even in challenging airport settings, including lighting variances, high-traffic throughput and diverse traveler demographics.

Facial Recognition in Air Travel:
Real-World Applications
Enrollment
The journey begins with simple, secure mobile or on-site enrollment. Enroll with your face, passport and boarding pass to create a secure travel credential, then breeze through checkpoints with just a face scan.
Check-In | Bag Drop
Simply approach the self-service check-in kiosk, and a quick facial scan verifies your identity and prints tags for bag drop — expediting the process, minimizing human error and improving efficiencies.
Pre-Security
Incorporating facial recognition into kiosks or eGates at pre-security checkpoints accelerates verification by up to 5x, giving passengers frictionless passage with an added layer of security.
Lounge Access
Leveraging facial recognition technology for lounge access elevates the passenger experience with quick, contactless self-service check-in while improving operational efficiencies.
Boarding
Integrating facial recognition technology into eGates or kiosks powers an efficient boarding process — reducing wait times, mitigating human errors and streamlining the self-service passenger experience.
Border Control
Deploying high-performing facial recognition technology at border crossings enhances security, reduces tedious tasks for border officials and drastically improves passenger throughput.
