HANOI: More travellers are turning to Vietnam's digital identification platform, VNeID, and biometric technology when flying instead of traditional identification papers, with uptake at Vietnam’s airports rising steadily, the Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV) has reported.

Biometric services, now available at check-in counters, security checkpoints and boarding gates, allow passengers to complete formalities with a single facial scan instead of producing ID cards or boarding passes.
