“One ID” Facial Recognition, a New “Check-in to Boarding Experience” using
Biometric Authentication will be introduced at Narita Airport- Innovating Airport Passenger Experience through Cutting-Edge Technology! From Spring of 2020, Narita Airport will start introducing a innovative passenger experience for the Check-in toBoarding process named the “One ID”, using the world's most advanced facial recognition technology.
With this technology, passengers when their facial data is recorded at the first touch point at the airport, suchas the self check-in KIOSK or other initial touch points, the facial data is correlated with the passport and thecheck-in data, then the passenger will no longer be asked for their boarding pass and passport as presently

required across the end-to-end passenger process experience (baggage drop-off, passenger security screening
entrance and boarding) to board a flight. Simply, you can walk through using “One ID” facial recognition.
One ID will relieve departing passengers from repetitive processes to board a flight and we anticipate benefitsin less queuing. By utilizing the most advanced cutting edge facial recognition system, it will improve thepassenger authentication accuracy and enable improvements in aviation and airport infrastructure security.
One ID will also improve staff productivity by reducing time spent on manual ID checks. The technology exists
today and the new travel style is the first initiative of its type anywhere in the world and the system to beintroduced by Narita Airport is the first in Japan. Please look forward to the One ID system introduction.
Details for applicable flights and system operation will be decided in consultation with the participating airlines.
