Zamna's Identity Technology Partnership with Iberojet Reduces Airport Queues and Eliminates Documentation Fines
Zamna's deployment of patented identity verification technology with Iberojet has transformed travel compliance by cutting check-in times by over 50% and completely eliminating documentation fines on long-haul routes.
Zamna has launched its patented identity infrastructure with Spanish and Portuguese airline Iberojet, part of Ávoris Corporación Empresarial, marking a significant advancement in travel document validation technology. The deployment forms a central part of Iberojet's broader digital transformation strategy aimed at cutting queues, reducing manual checks, and ensuring compliance at scale as international travel rules tighten.
Operating seamlessly and in real-time, Zamna's unique patented technology pre-validates passports, boarding passes, and travel documents days or even weeks before travelers arrive at the airport. The system ensures compliance with each destination's specific entry requirements and provides passengers with early visibility if anything needs correcting. Within the first month of operation, more than 60% of passengers who checked in online entered the Zamna flow, and nearly 70% of them were fully verified to fly in advance.
Irra Ariella Khi, CEO and Co-Founder at Zamna, emphasized the broader implications: "This deployment isn't just about smoother check-in; it's about taking the regulatory and financial liability for document checks away from airlines. Zamna removes 100% of fines from invalid visas, mismatched IDs, or missed eTAs. As travel rules tighten, and more destinations impose strict and fast-changing entry requirements, airlines need solutions that guarantee compliance at scale."
The system is already live on Iberojet's long-haul routes from the Iberian Peninsula to Latin America and the Caribbean, including Mexico, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Honduras, and other destinations. Expansion is planned for return journeys into Europe, as well as additional routes. The deployment was designed to align with Iberojet's existing tech stack and operational processes, including a custom-branded WebView embedded directly within the airline's relaunched online check-in experience at https://www.iberojet.com.
Toni Pou Mir, BT & IT Director at Iberojet, reported significant operational improvements: "We've seen the potential of this tool firsthand—reducing the check-in process from over an hour to under thirty minutes. Partnering with Zamna has eased the pressure on our frontline teams, reduced queues, and made the process more intuitive for passengers. Even in complex cases, the system manages compliance seamlessly in the background, allowing our staff to focus their time and energy where it truly matters."
The technology provides airlines with unprecedented advance visibility into identity check failures, enabling proactive action and reducing last-minute manual interventions. Of the few passengers (5%) who were not verified, nearly 70% failed due to simple discrepancies in identification, which Zamna flags in advance. This represents a fundamental shift in how airlines manage travel compliance and passenger processing efficiency.
