This change is being considered the biggest improvement in air travel in the last 50 years. Under the leadership of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), aviation industries around the world are creating a new system. It is called the ‘digital travel credential’. In this, the entire process will be completed only through a face scan and a smartphone.

According to British aviation experts, if this new technology is adopted on a large scale, these changes could be implemented in the next 2 to 3 years. According to The Times, this upgrade means that passengers will no longer need to check-in before flights or carry a boarding pass. Instead, when passengers book a flight, they will receive a ‘journey pass’ on their phone, which will contain all the necessary information, including passport data, seat assignment, etc.

The biggest change in the aviation industry in 50 years

Valerie Viale, director of product management at Amadeus, the world’s largest travel technology provider, told The Times that this will be the biggest change in the aviation industry in the last 50 years.

What will this mean for the passenger?

If the system is fully implemented, the need for boarding passes, passport checks and physical ID verification will be eliminated in many places. Facial recognition scanners at key touchpoints will identify passengers and notify airlines of their arrival. For those with only hand luggage, facial scans at security entrances could replace any physical check-in. For those with checked baggage, verification will be done at bag drop. In both cases, the passenger will not need to produce their passport or boarding pass.

The current process is complicated.

Currently, passengers have to check in online or at the airport, enter passport details and receive a scannable boarding pass. After the change, this process will disappear completely.

If you do not know, then let us tell you about this document today. The name of this document which is used like a passport at the airport is Seaman Book. Seaman Book can be used at the airport as well as seaport to go abroad.

Let us tell you here that not everyone can use the Seaman Book. Seaman Book is especially issued to employees working in Merchant Navy and Cruise Line. Apart from these, Seaman Book is also issued to fishermen working in fishing vessels. Just like you use a passport to go abroad, similarly the employees working in Merchant Navy and Cruise Line use Seaman Book. Seaman Book is a kind of document which is called the identity card of the employees working in the ship.

Like a passport, the Seaman Book also contains the name, date of birth, nationality and other details of the employees of the shipping company. Apart from this, the educational qualification of the employee is also mentioned in the Seaman Book. Also, the designation of the employee, name of the ship on which he is deployed, duration of the journey are also mentioned in the Seaman Book. The identification of the employee posted in any vessel or ship in the international waters is done through this Seaman Book. The immigration process at the foreign port is also completed through this Seaman Ship.

Can the Seaman Book be used at the airport?

According to a senior airport security official, all passengers traveling by air for tourism, business, medical and other purposes need a valid passport and visa at the airport. However, if a person deployed in merchant navy, cruise line or vessel reaches the airport with a Seaman Book to join his duty, then the Seaman Book is accepted as a passport. However, during the Bureau of Immigration check at the airport, the passenger has to show the Continuous Discharge Certificate cum Seafarer Identity Document (CDC) along with the Seaman Book.

Does a Seaman Book holder not need a visa?

According to a senior airport security official, Seaman Book and CDC are also used as crew transit visas. If personnel working in merchant navy, vessel or cruise pass through different countries during travel, then Seaman Book can be used as a transit visa. At the same time, personnel going to join duty at their port also use Seaman Book and CDC as visa. If the travel is personal and not for official purpose, then the traveler will need a passport and visa of the concerned country.
