Frequent Flyers on United Airlines, Air Canada and other Star Alliance airlines will be able to use touchless biometrics services at more than 460 airports under a new partnership between the airline group, NEC Corporation and SITA. Representatives from United and SITA discussed trials of a biometric-enabled experience at San Francisco International Airport in a virtual discussion for the recent FTE APEX Biometrics Summit.
