Dear MEL Topic Readers,
This world-class airport will soon go passport-free
Singapore’s Changi Airport (SIN) is one of the world’s busiest yet highly-reputed
airports. It is a major aviation hub in Southeast Asia and accommodates over
100 airlines to and from 400 cities around the world. It is known for its wide
range of amenities and services, including unique attractions like a 40-meter-tall
indoor waterfall, a suspended canopy park, an interactive museum, and various
gardens. The airport is also known for its high-tech services and experiences for
passengers, including self-service kiosks for check-ins and facial recognition
technology to streamline the check-in process. Starting next year, the airport
will introduce a biometrics authentication system that allows departing
passengers to pass the immigration checkpoints and boarding without showing
their passports. So, once you check in at one of the kiosks, you can put your
passport in the bag safely. Of course, you need to carry your passport as all
the departing flights are for international destinations. But someday in the
future, our faces or other biometric information might present required personal
information for international travel.
