The UK will be the first to launch face recognition technology at London Gatwick Airport.
British media reported on the 16th that Gatwick Airport has conducted multiple rounds of testing with Face Airways on face recognition, using the instrument to compare the face of the passenger with the passport photo, and whether the name and the boarding pass are the same. Go to the manual check to save boarding time. According to the airport, more than 90% of the approximately 20,000 people who participated in the test said that face recognition is simple and fast, reducing boarding time.
Gatwick Airport plans to launch face recognition boarding at the new eight boarding gates after completing the runway extension in 2022. The airport reminds passengers that they still need to bring their passports when they travel, because they may be used after they get off the plane.
