Airport Corporation Expands 'One ID' Simplified Check-in Service... "Adding PASS App"

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] Korea Airports Corporation announced on the 21st that starting from the 22nd, the 'PASS App Mobile Driver's License' can be used to register for the biometric authentication 'One ID Simplified Check-in' service at airports nationwide.

The corporation, in collaboration with telecom companies SK Telecom, KT, and LG Uplus, expanded the service to allow biometric information registration at airport biometric authentication registration desks using the 'PASS App's mobile driver's license QR code.' This resolves the inconvenience of having to carry a plastic ID card and prevents fraudulent use such as ID forgery.

Yoon Hyung-jung, President of Korea Airports Corporation, stated, “The biometric authentication identity verification service enables contactless identity verification during the COVID-19 situation and eliminates the risk of ID theft, maximizing security and safety. We will do our best to realize smart airports through continuous service development so that the public can use airports comfortably.”

By using the biometric authentication 'One ID' service operated by the corporation, passengers can register biometric information such as palm vein patterns at the airport and verify their identity contactlessly without an ID card. When using domestic flights at airports nationwide, passengers can board more quickly and conveniently through dedicated lanes.

Meanwhile, Korea Airports Corporation, airlines, and the three telecom companies are developing a 'Smart Boarding Pass' service that combines mobile boarding passes and mobile driver's licenses to eliminate the hassle of separately verifying boarding passes and IDs during flight check-in. In the future, the 'One ID' service will be expanded to cover all airport services such as check-in, duty-free shops, and unmanned vending machines.
