This presentation explores how Air Transat and Aéroports de Montréal use digital identity to simplify and secure travel. Passengers can enrol before arriving, enabling seamless boarding and reducing queues and paperwork. Benefits include faster processing, improved security, and greater satisfaction. The presentation will cover use cases, cross-border travel with existing technologies, and the role of interoperability, standards, and privacy-preserving tech. It will also highlight collaboration with IN Groupe and the EU APTITUDE Consortium to demonstrate interoperability using ICAO Type-2 DTC credentials for travel between YUL and MRS.
