Senior Minister Teo Chee Hean on Tuesday said: “We are working on an initiative where departing passengers at Changi need only present their biometrics for verification at the various departure touchpoints, without having to present any physical identity or travel documents.”
Instead, their identities will be verified using iris and facial biometrics as they walk through clearance gates. Securing passenger reservation and air traffic control systems, for example, has to be a collective responsibility, the minister added. “Any system is only as secure as the weakest link.” “The data we have, reinforced by the images we see, and the actual experiences we encounter as we fly around the world, tell us that we need to deal with this issue of climate change urgently and decisively,” he said.
Singapore has already started to develop the next generation of air navigation service systems, which will be operational around the end of the 2020s, he noted. Coordination between air traffic management providers must also improve, Teo added. “If you improve air traffic management, improve air traffic rules, reduce flight times and reduce waiting times, everybody benefits.”
