Passengers can now board flights from Kempegowda International Airport (BLR), Bengaluru without presenting any travel documents. In a bid to provide this paperless travelling facility for flyers, the Bengaluru airport has installed One-ID biometric platform technology. It has tied up with Vistara airline for this project. Under this project, there is privacy-protected information network. This network, claims BIAL, ensures the highest international standards of data security and respects passenger privacy.
This comes under Bengaluru airport authority’s ambitious Digi Yatra project. The whole process is known as ‘Early Go Live’. Once completed, it is touted to be the largest deployment of an end-to-end paperless biometric program in Asia with over 350 passenger touchpoints at BLR Airport Terminal 1. The technology allows seamless processing at the entry to the terminal, passenger security screening, and the boarding gate. All Vistara flights are expected to be integrated into the biometric boarding process at BLR Airport by October 2019.
