The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV) will do a trial with the use of biometrics, specifically facial recognition, for passengers doing procedures to go on flights.

 

The technology will be tested on a small scale at all airports and the results will be reported to the Ministry of Transport, so that widespread application could be done in the second quarter, according to a representative of CAAV.

 

Passengers who want to pass through security gates at airports currently have to show certain personal documents, such as personal IDs, driving licenses or birth certificates. Airport employees must check these documents manually.
