Faceprint instead of boarding pass in Riyadh Airport to ease passengers’ journey

Saudi Gazette report RIYADH — The Riyadh Airports announced the implementation of the (Smart Travel Journey) experiment at King Khalid International Airport, through which the passengers will be recognized by their digital faceprint without the need for the boarding pass. Riyadh Airports has implemented the experiment in cooperation with the global company SITA, noting that this considered as an important step to convert Riyadh airport into a smart airport to reach customers satisfaction. The SITA Smart Path enables efficient biometric enrollment, as passengers will become their own boarding passes just by looking at SITA FacePod’s camera. It will reduce the boarding time by at least 20%, in addition to speeding up the process while maximizing security, and improve the passengers experience during their journey in the airport.
