Biometric boarding using facial recognition

The facial recognition programme will speed up the security and boarding processes at the airport.
If you are over 18 and have a valid Spanish ID card or European passport, you can use facial recognition to board by following the steps below.

  • Register with the programme
    Open the Iberia app, go to your Personal Area and follow the instructions to take a digital capture of your ID document and make a selfie video of your face. The software will determine whether the face in the selfie matches the one in your photo ID.

  • Link your boarding pass to facial recognition
    Once you have checked in online through the Iberia app, you will receive a notification if your flight accepts biometric boarding.

  • Go through security
    A set of cameras will detect you as you approach the biometric gate, which will open when your profile is recognised.

  • Go through the boarding gate
    Another set of cameras will recognise you as you approach the biometric boarding gate, which will open automatically without you having to show your document.
