For now, biometric verification is intended only for US citizens, which represents around 40% of travelers at the San Francisco Airport. We hope that soon it can be expanded not only to other citizens but also to other airports.

United Airlines has pioneered the implementation of these types of innovative technologies helping to set an even higher standard when it comes to safety and efficiency for users and employees.
