Finnish people flying from Helsinki to the UK may now be able to show a digital ID on their phone rather than their physical passport.
Travellers on some flights with Finnair will be able to pass through border control using Digital Travel Credentials (DTC) rather than waiting in line for border control.
The Finnish Border Control says it is the first time a digital passport will be accepted “in a real border control environment, reportedly for the first time in the world”. They claim that it will make the experience “faster and smoother than usual”.
