HÀ NỘI — The Civil Aviation Administration of Việt Nam (CAAV) has just submitted a report detailing challenges arising during the trial of using the e-identification app VNeID for domestic air travel. The pilot programme allows users with eID accounts at level-2, which means their information has been verified by authorities, to use the app for security checks for domestic flights. However, the CAAV reported that several airports in mountainous areas or on islands have unstable connections, which is an obstacle to using VNeID. According to a report by the Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV) and Vân Đồn International Airport, on average, 0.64 per cent of air passengers use VNeID for domestic flights. A passenger using traditional papers usually passes through direct security checks in around six seconds.
