What happened
On October 28, 2026, the International Air Transport Association awarded Air New Zealand One ID certification. This follows the release of IATA’s 2026 Global Passenger Survey, which found that 78% of travelers prefer biometrics over physical document presentation. IATA is also working with governments to enable the issuance and acceptance of Digital Travel Credentials for international travel.

Why it matters
The certification supports the transition to biometrics-enabled contactless travel and the adoption of digital identity across the passenger journey. This trend is driven by growing demand for technology to ease travel while addressing increasing administrative burdens for travelers.
