American Airlines pilots mobile digital identity system

Passengers flying with American Airlines from Dallas Fort Worth International and Reagan Washington National airports in the USA are testing a touchless mobile identity system that allows them to verify their identity with their face at the check-in desk.

Passengers need to create a mobile ID on either their Apple or Android device via the Airside digital identity app by uploading their passport or driving licence, adding a photo of themselves and giving consent for their mobile ID to be shared and used on the day of travel.
