procedures and government immigration control procedures are performed at the same time by utilizing information
transmission technology and biometrics technology in airport passenger procedures. The JAL test will be held in
Passenger Terminal 2 at Narita Airport.

(such as fingerprints) and frequent flyer membership number, to use to check-in at a self-check in machine and to verify
their identify and receive a boarding pass at the same time when going through an automatic-gate in the immigration
