Star Alliance Wants At Least Half Its Members To Embrace Biometrics By 2025: Reuters

The world's largest airline alliance, Star Alliance wants half of its twenty-six members to use biometrics technology by 2025, Reuters reported.
Star Alliance comprises 26 member airlines. A management company based in Frankfurt, Germany, and Singapore, coordinates Star Alliance projects and activities.
The move is expected to ease the travel process as the demand grows for contactless travel and less airport congestion after COVID-19.

Star Alliance hopes to reduce processing time through airport security, baggage drop, departure gates, and lounges through features such as facial comparison for boarding passes.
"We will definitely need to be heading towards half of our carriers participating," the report quoted customer experience vice president Christian Draeger.
"But at the same, we also need to increase the network of participating airports."
One of the members, United Airlines Holdings Inc UAL, reportedly said it is pursuing ways to ease travel through biometrics at several points within the airport.
Price Action: UAL shares are trading lower by 1.29% at $38.40 in premarket on the last check Friday.
