Taipei Songshan Airport transforms check-in with biometrics, self-service, and mobile-first passenger experience
Posted: 25 June 2025 | Gabriel Higgins | No comments yet
Taipei Songshan Airport is upgrading check-in with biometric kiosks, mobile access, and self-service bag drops to improve speed and passenger satisfaction.


Passengers departing from Taipei Songshan Airport (TSA) will soon enjoy a faster, more efficient check-in experience as the airport introduces a new generation of self-service and biometric-powered technology. This initiative is part of a broader effort to modernise operations and maintain high levels of passenger satisfaction.
The upgrade includes a common use self-service model in the international terminal, allowing all airlines to access a shared system. Passengers will be able to check in using their mobile phones, offering greater flexibility and convenience. Biometric check-in kiosks will streamline the process further by enabling passengers to link their ID to facial recognition for quicker access to boarding passes.
To enhance baggage handling, TSA will implement a fully automated self bag drop system. This technology can reduce processing times by up to 80 per cent, allowing the entire bag drop to be completed in as little as 70 seconds. With minimal need for staff assistance, this system eases congestion and improves efficiency.
