Air Canada uthe namhlanje yinqwelomoya yokuqala yaseKhanada ukubonelela abathengi bayo ngokhuseleko kunye nokulula kukhetho olutsha lokubhoda usebenzisa i-biometric yobuso. Itekhnoloji ngoku iyafumaneka kubathengi bemka kwisikhululo senqwelomoya saseSan Francisco (SFO) ngezicwangciso zokuqhubeka nokusasaza abathengi kwezinye izikhululo zeenqwelo moya zaseMelika.
"I-Air Canada iye yazisa iinkqubo ezininzi ezingachukumisiyo kuhambo lwabathengi, kwaye sonwabile ngoku ukubonelela ngokuzikhethela, ukukhetha izinto ezintsha zokubhoda zebhayometri kubathengi abashiya i-SFO engenamthungo, ekonga ixesha kwaye elula ngelixa kuncitshiswa ixesha lokudibana kunye nokusebenza," utshilo u-Andrew U-Yiu, usekela-Mongameli, iMveliso e-Air Canada. "Abathengi basixelele ukuba bayazixabisa iinkqubo ezilungelelanisiweyo kwaye siyaqhubeka nokuvavanya nokuvavanya amanyathelo ongezelelweyo okungachukumisi ukuqhubela phambili uhambo olukhuselekileyo nolukhuselekileyo ngelixa sisomeleza amava okuhamba."
Ukubhoda kwebhayometrikhi kwenza ukuba abathengi baziveze esangweni lokubhoda, bathathwe iifoto zabo ezingqinisisiweyo kwaye ziqinisekiswe kwiinkcukacha zabo zepasipoti kunye nefoto esele ibanjiwe ngeNkonzo yokuHanjiswa kwabaThengi baseMelika kunye neBorder Protection's (CBP). Kwimizuzwana nje, inkonzo yokuthelekisa yobuso be-biometric ye-CBP iya kuthelekisa ngokuzenzekelayo ifoto entsha yomhambi nemifanekiso esele inikezelwe ngurhulumente kurhulumente, njengepaspoti kunye neefoto zevisa. Ngokubanzi, ukusetyenziswa kwebhayometri yobuso kubonelela abahambi ngenkqubo ekhuselekileyo, engenakuchukunyiswa ehambisa uhambo lomoya.
"I-CBP inemincili yokusebenzisana neAir Canada ukubonelela abahambi ngenkqubo ekhuselekileyo, engenakuchukunyiswa yokuqinisekisa isazisi njengoko bemka eUnited States kwi-SFO," utshilo uDiane J. Sabatino, uSekela-Khomishina oNcedisayo weSigqeba, iOfisi yezeMisebenzi yoMhlaba, i-US Customs kunye Ukukhuselwa kweMida. "Ngaphandle kwenkqubo yokufika elula eyenziwe lula ye-CBP xa singena kwi-SFO, sitshintsha uhambo lokuhamba ngenqwelo-moya ngokwandisa ukusetyenziswa kweebhayometri zobuso ngokusebenzisa ubuhlakani phakathi kukarhulumente namashishini abucala ukomeleza ngakumbi nokukhulisa amava abathengi."
Abathengi abanganqweneli kusebenzisa i-biometric boarding bangavele bacebise iarhente yesango, kwaye baya kukhwela njengoko behlala benjalo ngokwenza ipasipoti yokubhoda kunye nepasipoti yokujonga i-ID ngesandla kunye nokulungiswa kwebhodi.
Ukusukela ekuqaleni konyaka, iAir Canada yazise ngeenkqubo ezininzi ezingachukumisiyo kuhambo lwabathengi, kubandakanya: iTouchFree Bag yokujonga iinqwelomoya ezisuka kwizikhululo zeenqwelo moya zaseCanada, ukukwazi uku-odola ukutya ngokuthe ngqo kwiiMaple Leaf Lounges kwii-smartphones nakwiitafile, Ikhefi yeAir Canada xa ivulwa kwakhona, kunye nokubonelelwa kwawo onke amaphepha-ndaba neemagazini kwifomathi yedijithali nge-PressReader, phakathi kwamanye amanyathelo.
I-Air Canada iceba ukwandisa iinketho zebhayometriki zokubhoda kwezinye izikhululo zeenqwelo moya zase-US kungekudala kwaye ngoku iphonononga iindlela ezinokubakho kwizikhululo zeenqwelo moya zaseCanada.
