Starting December 3rd, Air Canada will commence a convenient new program utilizing Digital Identification for check-in at Vancouver International Airport. This cutting-edge technology, which will eventually roll out to other Canadian airports, allows for expedited check-in using facial recognition.
More than just airports.
The Maple Leaf Lounge and the Air Canada Cafe at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport will also accept these Digital IDs for entry.
