Italy OKs domestic, Schengen flights with just boarding card, no ID

Qatar Tribune10-07-2025
Rome A boarding pass will now suffice at Italian airports for boarding domestic flights and those within Europe's Schengen visa-free travel area. There is no longer a need to show ID at the gate for these flights, after the Italian Civil Aviation Authority (ENAC) changed the rules. This new procedure was introduced by ENAC and approved by the Ministry of the Interior, the daily newspaper Corriere della Sera reported on Thursday. Anyone entering the security area of an airport has already passed the usual security checks, such as metal detectors or security gates. So, anyone flying from Italy to Germany or Spain, for example, can now skip reaching for their ID at the gate. Despite the relaxation, Di Palma advises caution: Passports or identity cards should not be left at home, as anyone without a document during a check will not be allowed on board. (dpa)
