Incheon Airport’s Smart Airport is a Vision of the Future In this bit of the latest Airport news, we are looking at the Incheon International Airport which has exceptionally raised its standards of technology customer convenience. Since then, the airport has been the talk of the town for several aviation agencies and we thought of getting the ground report for ourselves. The airport authorities recently implemented what they call the smart airport plan. This plan offers a ton of improvements for the airport including but not limited to walkthrough self-service security screening system, facial recognition technology-enabled SmartPass check-in and boarding, home baggage drop-off courier service and the deployment of artificial intelligence robots at passenger terminals.

The key motivation behind the airport were the less attractive arrangements for baggage handling and security. The long queues of passengers and spending so much time just checking in was a big throw off for the passengers. Here are a few instances for the same.
