Scandinavian airline SAS said on Wednesday (30 June) that according to its survey, travellers were positive towards the use of biometry at Umea Airport, where the company had conducted customer trials.
Some 78% of those tested felt that SAS should definitely introduce biometric identification if it means the continued possibility of ticket-less travel, while 22% responded "yes, maybe".
Among those not tested, 58% responded "yes, definitely", 31% "yes, maybe", 8% responded "no" and 3% had no opinion.
Of the two techniques tested, iris photography was considered to work slightly more smoothly and was marginally preferable to fingerprint verification.
In the survey, a total of 72% were positive to travel documents being a form of identification in the future.
SAS said that it had not yet taken a decision to use biometry, pending official requirements by the authorities for increased ID control.
