Big news at that time Linate, where our trips will be even smarter and faster. In fact, the city airport of Milan inaugurated the face boarding service: that is, you will no longer have to present boarding passes or documents, no more hassle of holding 200 sheets of paper and booklets in your hands while sweating at every check, to get on the plane just show your face to the facial recognition systems that will open the gate doors. A mirror and off you go, you can pass.
Cool, right?
“With biometrics we are making a further investment that aims to increasingly improve the passenger experience” the CEO of Sea proudly underlined, Armando Brunini, which reassured on the protection of travellers’ personal data. The system – he specified – “guarantees greater safety and it respects privacy”. Also because face boarding has been tested at Linate since 2020, so we imagine they have resolved issues such as “people who look alike” or “identical twins” and strange situations like that.
So guys, from your next trip to Linate, don’t worry, all you need to do is do a face check, and the biometric facial recognition system, made by Sea with Thales and Dormakaba, will let you pass. All airlines enjoy face boarding, including naturally Ita Airways and SAS who were the first to join the project. Also Beppe Sala he commented enthusiastically, “a huge innovation that we should be proud of: Linate is the only airport in Europe with such a system open to all companies,” you said nothing.
To enjoy face boarding, simply register via the kiosks in the airport or directly from your mobile devices (the app will also be operational from June) and that’s it, no more documents and boarding passes. “We will check how the system works at Linate, but we definitely intend to take him to Malpensa. We will evaluate with which companies and at what times, but we certainly want to export it”, added Brunini.
What a gas, right?
