Incheon Airport (South Korea) has launched the Smart Pass service, which allows passengers departing from the country not to present a passport and boarding pass.

To use the service, you need to register all the necessary information in a special ICN Smart pass application or at a kiosk at the airport 30 minutes before departure, writes The Korea Times.

The registration is valid for 5 years, and those who are registered have separate exits to the departure hall. There are 16 boarding gates with the necessary equipment.

Currently, the service is only available to passengers flying with Korean Air, Asiana Airlines, Jeju Air, Jin Air, T-way Air, and Delta Air Lines.
