ONE ID AND STANDARDIZATION OF IDENTITY MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS
What is it?
IATA One ID is a vision for an end-to-end biometric passenger journey. Its a pax processing facility aiming to achieve the vision of a paperless travel experience where passengers can fly safely and securely only using their biometric data.
This will be achieved using a trusted digital identity, implementing biometric at various touchpoints, and sharing a single set of passenger identity information among authorized stakeholders in accordance with data privacy rules.
One ID leverages proven technologies, existing infrastructure and puts
passengers in control of their journey.
One ID will simplify the passenger process by removing the need for passengers to physically present documents in various combinations at multiple touchpoints. It will be replaced by instant biometric recognition.
Why IATA One ID (Justification)
Passenger traffic is projected to double by 2037. The industry will not be able to handle this growth or satisfy evolving customer expectations with existing airport capacity, current processes, facilities and ways of doing business.
New on-ground concepts are, and increasingly will be, required to optimise the use of emerging technologies, processes and design developments.
Aviation stateholders - airlines, border control, customs and screening authorities, have respective processes around their own obligations and requirements, with little or no coordination between them.
This causes repetitive processes for the pax such as having to present travel tokens (boarding passes and passports) to many different stakeholders for different purposes across the end-to-end passenger experience. This shall be inefficient and not sustainable in the long-term.
Benefits for all stakeholders
1. Passengers
Pax can digitally prove to airlines that they meet all the travel requirements (e.g., visa) to the destination country before reaching the airport.
Pax present their face, not travel documents.
Pax remain in control of their personal data and are provided with informed consent before sharing their credentials.
2. Airlines
Automated document-checking processes.
With direct communication between pax and authorities, airlines are released from operational burden of checking documents.
Pax processing time is lowered.
The quality of pax data submitted to airlines is increased
3. Airports
Automated passenger processing helps relieving terminal congestion.
Space utilization can be optimized.
4. Governments
Border authorities have direct control over which passengers are allowed to enter the country.
Advanced pax data sharing allows governments conduct a risk analysis on travellers and combat cross-border criminal activities.
Document fraud is prevented, improving border security and pax facilitation
