Air Europa Passengers Now Can E-Check Passports with Amadeus Travel Ready

New, digital experiences are a top priority for travellers, with the IATA Global Passenger survey finding three quarters would like to use biometric data over passports and boarding passes.

The study also indicates that travellers are keen to streamline certain processes away from the airport, with check-in and immigration procedures as their top priorities.

This is why Air Europa is deploying Amadeus Travel Ready by Traveller ID, a full suite of innovative products making travel easier by automating and digitising the document verification process.

The technology gives peace of mind for travellers, allowing them to verify the compliance of certain documents before heading to the airport.

International passengers of Air Europa can now use this new feature during the online check-in, through any of their favourite digital channels (mobile or desktop).

Once a passport has been verified, passenger status will automatically be updated within the airline system as ‘Skycleared,’ saving time by speeding the manual document verifications at check-in, bag drop and boarding, and consequently reducing queues.

In the future, Amadeus Travel Ready will not only offer the possibility to Air Europa’s passengers to verify other documents such as visas, but will also facilitate biometric identification processes at the airport via the passengers’ mobiles.

The solution will provide capabilities to match key travel credentials with biometric facial data that will be used for identification at the different airline touchpoints.
