Delta launches domestic digital identity test trial

Delta is launching a pilot program to expand biometric digital ID testing to domestic travelers to help provide a touchless experience from curb-to-gate. The trial will be based in Detroit’s Edward H. McNamara Terminal, and builds upon Delta’s existing facial recognition option for customers traveling to an international destination. “The Covid-19 pandemic has only deepened the importance of providing a touchless experience for our customers. We plan to expand curb-to-gate facial recognition and digital ID beyond the Detroit test so that all of our customers can enjoy a seamless, touchless travel experience across our network,” Delta’s Bill Lentsch said.
