Passengers flying with Air Canada from Vancouver Airport can now use facial recognition for identification. The airline has introduced a digital identification system powered by facial recognition technology.
Currently, the service is available only on domestic flights. Passengers who wish to use it must download the Air Canada app and submit a passport photo and a selfie.
However, the airline stated that passengers will still need to present regular ID to pass through airport security. Once past security, they can use facial recognition to seamlessly move through the airport checkpoint.
Additionally, Air Canada clarified that biometric data will be deleted within 36 hours of the passenger’s journey being completed and will no longer be stored as part of their digital profile.
