One of the leading airline hubs in the world, Changi Airport in Singapore has always been ahead when it comes to innovation. This year, it set the bar even higher with the introduction of passport-free travel that makes life even easier for passengers, while also improving airport efficiency. From 2024, passport checks have become a thing of the past at Changi Airport which now utilises automated boarding and immigration processes. This makes entry into the country more convenient as visitors can quickly transition from the airport to accommodation providers like V Hotel Bencoolen. Once back at the airport from such a hotel near Bugis Singapore, one will find the departure process hassle-free as well.
A key feature that allows such passport-free travel possible is the full use of biometric technology which has been employed here. It is used to create a single token of authentication for each individual passenger which can be made use of at different automated touchpoints. While travellers no longer need to show passports at Changi Airport, they will still need them and other travel documents on hand when landing or boarding at airports in other nations.
