  • Publication number: 20240104442
    Abstract: The information processing apparatus acquires biological information of a passenger who has disembarked from an aircraft. The information processing apparatus acquires flight information corresponding to the acquired biological information from a storage device in which the biological information of the passenger and the flight information of the passenger are stored in association with each other. Then, the information processing apparatus determines, based on the acquired flight information, whether the passenger is a passenger who is to re-board an aircraft after disembarking from the aircraft. The information processing apparatus displays information according to the determination result on display devices.
