Velana International Airport (VIA) now accepts digital identity cards for domestic flights, which is a step forward in alignment with the initiative by the National Centre for Information Technology.
The move follows the issuance of a circular by the Ministry of Defence, authorizing the acceptance of a wider range of identification documents by VIA for checking in passengers on domestic flights.
Passengers flying domestically from VIA can now use any of the following non-expired documents for the airline ticket purchase, check-in, and identification at security checkpoints:
- Passport
- Citizenship card / Digital Citizenship card
- Work Visa Card / Digital Work Visa Card
- License Card / Digital License Card
- Airport Security Pass
- Photo issued by a government agency and an official document bearing the ID card number
This new development reaffirms MACL’s commitment to enhancing passenger convenience and embracing digital transformation in its operations.
