We speak with one voice on responsible biometrics
We are associations representing airports and airlines, alongside technology providers.
Together, we back three principles for responsible biometrics that deliver public value: stronger identity assurance, shorter queues, and better use of the infrastructure Europe already has. We commit to open dialogue with European and national authorities, sharing technical knowledge and operational experience.

Three principles that make biometrics worth trusting.
Voluntary biometrics can meet Europe's highest privacy standards. Here’s how.
The power of traveler choice
Privacy and security by design
Responsible Innovation
When passengers choose biometrics, everyone in the journey gains.
For passengers
Shorter queues and fewer checks. Your data, your call.
Passengers move through the airport without showing documents at every step. Opt in is a choice, and the non-biometric route always stays open.
For policymakers and regulators
A European model the world can follow.
A foundation for the EU Digital Identity Wallet and the Digital Travel Credential, and proof that innovation and fundamental rights can advance together.
For airports and airlines
More passengers, same infrastructure.
Welcome rising passenger numbers with the space you already have, strengthen security, and keep European hubs competitive.
For tech providers
Clear rules to build on.
Regulatory certainty and room to design privacy-preserving solutions, without being tied to one prescribed model.
