Easyjet has launched a passport scanning function on its app.
The airline’s app, which has been downloaded more than 10 million times, enables passengers using an iPhone or Android device to scan their passport details using their mobile phone camera.
“Our new mobile passport scanning function will save time for the millions of customers who use the app to input their travel documentation details. It’s another example of innovating to make travel as easy as it is affordable with Easyjet,” said Easyjet’s head of digital, James Millett.
He added: “We’ve developed the new function in partnership with credentials management service Jumio to ensure details can be scanned in easily, safely and securely.”
In July, Easyjet announced it was trialling iBeacon technology across European airports to help travellers better navigate their way through the airport.
