Aegean Airlines simplified the boarding process on domestic Greek flights through the personal identifications uploaded from the Gov.gr Wallet application to its ‘Digital ID’ application as of Thursday, ANA reports.
Passengers whose Greek police ID is loaded onto the government’s Gov.gr Wallet platform will be able to incorporate their ID onto their digital boarding pass after they check in at the airport. To do so, domestic passengers must use Aegean’s ‘Digital ID’ app, which will incorporate their ID into a single document, facilitating and speeding up boarding. The app may also be used for Olympic Air flights. Passengers can use it on a voluntary basis.
Aegean said it developed the service with the help of the Digital Governance Ministry, and its Digital ID app fulfills all security and cryptography protocols for internet transactions.
Directions were provided as follows:
– To begin with, a passenger needs to have uploaded their ID on the Gov.gr Wallet app on their cellphone. They also need to upload the Aegean Digital ID app.
– Once they complete the check-in at Aegean using their digital boarding pass, a choice will pop up on the cellphone screen asking the passenger whether they want to incorporate their digital ID into their boarding pass.
– When the passenger chooses the incorporation, they are asked to add the number of their police ID on the Aegean app.
– If the number is correct, a Gov.gr Wallet notice arrives to confirm data (just as it happens when someone scans the QR of their ID).
– Once the passenger approves the transaction, a six-digit code shows up which the passenger must enter into the Aegean app to confirm and complete the digital transaction.
– Once the transaction is complete and the digital ID data coincides with that of the boarding pass for the passenger, the digital boarding pass on the Aegean app shows the indication “Verified Digital ID”, with the passenger’s photograph from their police ID, and a QR code.
When the staff at the boarding gates scans the QR code showing on the boarding pass, they see the verification of the digital ID.
The app is available for iOS, Android, and Huawei phones, and passengers must have downloaded the last version (v6.5.5) in order to use the service.
