South Korea once again proved to be ahead of the whole world in terms of the introduction of advanced technologies. Now you don't need to show your boarding pass to fly. The passenger's palm will play its role.

The corresponding service was introduced by Korean Air at Seoul Gimpo Airport. Now, for the boarding pass, you need to put your palm on a special scanner so that your identity and flight data are determined.

According to local media, this service is currently only available for citizens of the Republic of Korea over the age of 7 years. You must first go through the procedure for registering your palms and fingerprints on a special device. It is assumed that the innovation will significantly reduce the time of registration and landing, as well as improve the safety of air travel.

As stated in the statement of the air carrier, they gradually intend to expand the geography of the country's airports, where it will be possible to board a flight in the palm of your hand. This August, this service will become available at Gimhae International Airport (Busan), and then in all air harbors in South Korea.

It should be noted that scanners are already operating at Gimpo Seoul Airport and at the air harbor on Jeju Island, allowing passengers to be identified by the palm of their hand without presenting an identity card. Now the same principle will be applied when boarding. It turns out that any documents will not be needed soon.

According to experts, the technology of identifying people by the characteristics of blood vessels in the palms is more accurate and advanced than fingerprint recognition. Gradually, the novelty is being introduced in a variety of areas, including financial, allowing you to make purchases without using a card.
