San Francisco International Airport (SFO) and United Airlines have become the first in the United States to trial a low-touch, biometric-enabled airport experience from check-in to boarding for domestic travelers on select flights. Using SITA Smart Path, passengers participating in the trial can link their driver’s license to their facial biometric at check-in. They can then move through the airport, from check-in to bag drop, security and boarding by simply scanning their face at each touchpoint.
In 2020, over half of all international flights at SFO were boarded using biometrics. Today the airport and United extend that same experience to domestic passengers on select flights at SFO across multiple steps in the journey.
