The new system, developed by Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL), allows travelers to use their faces as boarding passes. Once registered, passengers can enjoy a seamless, paperless travel experience without the need to queue for traditional boarding passes or luggage checks. This innovation is set to revolutionize the way people navigate through airports, providing a quicker and hassle-free alternative to the conventional processes.

The biometric self-baggage drop system is designed to simplify airport procedures. After initial registration, passengers can repeatedly use the facial recognition system for all subsequent journeys, eliminating the need for manual checks and reducing wait times. This advancement not only enhances the efficiency of airport operations but also improves the overall travel experience.

Kempegowda International Airport is the first in India to adopt this cutting-edge technology, with plans to expand its implementation across all domestic airports.

This initiative marks a significant step towards creating paperless airports and modernizing air travel in the country, ensuring faster, more efficient, and more convenient journeys for passengers.
