Get ready for more biometrics and AI -- and better apps -- as you travel
Whether it's biometrics to get through security, an airline app that tells you if your flight is delayed or free Wi-Fi and charging areas for all travelers, there's no doubt technology this past decade has helped enhance the airport experience for fliers around the world.
Below, a sneak peek of what fliers can expect at airports on the technology front between 2020 and 2030.Technology that verifies a passenger's identy through fingerprints, for example, is being tested at airports all over the world.
Biometrics is also a big focus for American Airlines this decade, according to spokesman Ross Feinstein."We are already testing biometric boarding at some airports for international departures," he says. Feinstein expects that biometrics will continue to be expanded throughout the next decade, to include the check-in process, security checkpoint and domestic boarding.
"As airports get busier, airports, airlines and security organizations will collaborate to increasingly rely on AI to stay secure, efficient and proactive," says Brooks. In a press release, Ricardo Vidal, British Airways' Head of Innovation, says that the robots will free up the airline's employees to deal with more time-sensitive issues.
If there's a severe snowstorm or power outage, for example, employees will be able to decide, based on data from the machine, how to best rebook passengers and which routes are best for whom.Better apps The New York Port Authority has plans to amp up its passenger app over the next few years."Fliers will be able to see the security wait times at each check point and taxi wait times," says Cotton, the executive director."You're also going to be able to order food and retail through the app and have it delivered to your gate."
"At the end of 2019, we started using the AA app to inform customers if their flight is oversold and give them the option to volunteer to change their flight in exchange for a travel voucher," he says."We increasingly want them to rely on the app to rebook their flights and handle any of their other needs with us."Airport and airline operations
