Astana Airport plans to introduce Face ID

Astana International Airport Nursultan Nazarbayev plans to cooperate with a Swiss company on the introduction of Face ID technology.

"For the convenience of passengers, SITA is ready to provide a system for the smooth passage of checkpoints at the airport. Its work is based on facial biometric data recognition technology. Using Face ID instead of a boarding pass will speed up the way from check-in to boarding the flight, as well as increase the level of comfort and safety of passengers, since the number of contacts with airport terminal employees will be reduced," the airport's press service says.
