SICPA Partners with IATA to Improve Travel Experience

The International Air Transport Association (IATA), in partnership with SICPA and other industry partners, has created an improved travel experience using digital identity, streamlining the process from booking a flight to border crossing at arrival (see IDN September 2023).

The solution was successfully tested on a journey from London Heathrow to Rome Fiumicino with British Airways and was presented at the recent IATA World Passenger Symposium in Chicago.

The London to Rome journey serves as a proof of concept (PoC) of a project that has been incubating in the IATA Innovation Lab since 2022, where SICPA provided technology for the creation and issuance of verifiable credentials through its digital identity platform, as part of a wider IATA project called ‘Identity Management in Distribution’.
