Addis Ababa: Ethiopian Airlines and the Ethiopia National ID Program (NIDP) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to integrate their systems, allowing the Fayda ID to be used as a travel document for domestic flights. This initiative marks a significant step towards modernizing passenger processing and enhancing the travel experience within Ethiopia.

According to Ethiopian News Agency, the partnership will see Ethiopian Airlines implement biometric passenger processing, streamlining the journey from booking to boarding. This integration aims to boost both passenger convenience and operational efficiency. The Government of Ethiopia’s ongoing efforts to establish a foundational digital ID system are also part of this initiative.
