Smart Abheben am Flughafen - mit einer All-in-One-App, die verschiedene Flughafen-Dienstleistungen anbietet und deren kontaktlose Nutzung ermöglicht. SmartDepart ist eine innovative App, die Flughafen Dienstleistungen von verschiedenen Flughäfen in einer App buchbar macht. Darüber hinaus kannst Du kontaktlos über Gesichtserkennung Zugang zu diesen Dienstleistungen erhalten. Richte Dein Profil in der App ein und vervollständige es mit einem Selfie. Sobald ein Boarding-Pass in die App geladen wurde, kannst Du verschiedene Flughafendienste buchen wie beispielsweise ein Zeitfenster für die Sicherheitskontrolle, den Zutritt zu einer Lounge oder weitere Dienstleistungen wie Parken, FastTrack oder andere Dienste, die vom Flughafen angeboten werden. Auf Wunsch und nach entsprechender Zustimmung können diese Leistungen kontaktlos durch Gesichtserkennung genutzt werden. Mit SmartDepart behalten Einzelpersonen die Kontrolle über ihre persönlichen Daten und können dennoch kontaktlose Angebote per Gesichtserkennung an Flughäfen nutzen. SmartDepart bleibt dabei transparent, welche Daten dazu verarbeitet und geteilt werden.
