      Details     11 December 2018          ![](https://www.gerenciadeedificios.com/images/stories/GDE/users/sjaramillo1/delta-2.jpg)*International.*  Delta Air Lines, in partnership with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), have also joined the implementation of facial biometrics at International Terminal F at Atlanta Airport. The company has installed this system from the entrance to the airport to the boarding gate.

Unlike other airports, Atlanta has not limited itself to using facial recognition only for boardings on the plane, but also for other functionalities such as the possibility of leaving checked baggage at the counters of the international lobby, facilitating identification at the TSA checkpoint, as well as the customs control process that international travelers arriving in the United States must go through. To benefit from this service, users must pre-register at the self-service kiosks located in the international lobby.

Biometric points at the Atlanta terminal began operating in mid-October. Most of the 25,000 passengers who travel through Terminal F each week choose the facial recognition option to streamline security processes. This choice helps reduce boarding times for large aircraft by nine minutes.

Following the positive reception result by passengers of this new technology, the airline will expand, in partnership with CBP and Wayne County Airport Authority, the boarding of facial recognition to all 14 international agencies. For the time being, in the middle of this month, the McNamara Terminal at Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW) will offer the possibility of boarding without a boarding pass, and it will be necessary to wait until 2019 for Delta to implement facial recognition technology in DTW from the sidewalk to the door for its customers.
