JFK Airport T1 & Vision-Box to Roll Out Facial Recognition Boarding

A self-service biometric boarding solution will be implemented in Terminal 1 to offer a more convenient, faster boarding process.
International Travelers will be allowed to board their aircraft in just a few seconds using biometric eGates, which will recognize them by their face.
The platform will match the live faces with previously enrolled and stored ones, so passengers will not need to present their passport or boarding pass at the gate.
“Biometric self-boarding is one of our top priorities – improving the passenger experience and enhancing security and safety for all those who travel at JFK Terminal One,” explained Steve Rowland, TOGA Executive Director.
