Called “Biometric Experience by VINCI Airports”, the project is ed by the European Union through the program NextGenerationEU, investing in the application of technology to improve the quality of service at the airports of Lisbon, Porto, Faro, Madeira and Ponta Delgada.
The innovation is part of a major investment by VINCI Airports, considering that the project has already been underway since 2022 at Lyon airport, in .
Biometrics will be implemented by Lisbon and Porto airports and, in the second half of 2024, will be available in Faro, Madeira and Ponta Delgada. The first tests will be carried out with TAP Air Portugal engers, on flights previously selected by the company, within the Schengen Area.
Main advantages:
– engers will be able to use facial biometric data at departures;
– When already ed, engers do not need to use boarding es or identification documents;
– Easier and simpler journey through the airport, without stops, without queues or paperwork;
– Technology, safety and comfort in the airport experience;
– Guarantee of confidentiality, as the data will be deleted after the flight departs.
