All Finns flying with Finnair to London, Manchester, or Edinburgh will be able to test the digital travel document, according to the Border Guard. As a result, EU Helpers adds, people will have the opportunity to pass through the controls more quickly and without having to wait a long time.

Beginning on August 28, 2023, the Finnish Border Guard welcomes passengers on Finnair flights to the United Kingdom to test their digital travel documents at the border checkpoint at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport. Customers of Finnair traveling on the London, Manchester, and Edinburgh routes have the option of passing through border check more quickly and easily than usual without waiting in line, according to a statement from the Finnish Border Guard.

By voluntarily registering as users of a digital travel document, passengers will be able to move through processes more quickly, as was previously mentioned. After registering, users can use their digital document to travel to and from Finland.

The document can only be tested at the Helsinki Airport, it has been emphasized. Up to the end of February 2024, users who register with the system can test the digital travel document.

The Border Guard states that the DTC (Digital Travel Credentials) digital travel document is currently undergoing testing for the first time ever. DTC is a digital passport that is just as trustworthy as the physical kind.

"DTC is a digital passport that is just as dependable as a physical passport. It permits a quick and easy border crossing without sacrificing security, according to the Finnish Border Guard.

Finland has chosen to test digital travel documents in accordance with the EU Commission's request that selected member states participate in the pilot project so that lessons learned can be gathered.

The Commission intends to make a proposal for the implementation of this project in all the other member states once the necessary data has been acquired.

The Commission is funding the project, which aims to simplify everyone's travel experience.

Passengers won't need to carry physical travel documents in the future if the Finland-based project that will begin today is successful. Other travel-related procedures will also be made significantly simpler at the same time.
