The Berkshire company ensures a platform for the majority of existing airlines. And it has made a new code introduction for non-binary gender travelers<\/em><\/p>\n<p>While filling in required information passengers will have an option of <strong>\u2018X\u2019 for gender<\/strong>. There are 16 countries which require gender information in their forms.<\/p>\n<p>Though, this option will be allowed only to those passengers who have the same gender in their ID card or passport. Still there is a range of countries which at the moment have such an option for travelers. They are <em>Argentina, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Germany, India, Ireland, Malta, New Zealand, Nepal, the Netherlands and Pakistan<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, not all airlines have introduced a new code. And passengers have to state their gender  choosing between female and male options. But, for instance,  <a href=\"https:\/\/flyings.net\/airline\/aa\/\">American<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/flyings.net\/airline\/dl\/\">Delta<\/a> and United are ready to bring out a new option as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>The necessity of the new code is justified by the diversity and the neccessity to make travelling suitable for every passender. With the introduction of this code it will be clearly stated that every <strong>single traveler is respected and welcomed<\/strong>. It is important to show respect to passengers\u2019 self-identification.<\/p>\n<p>The delays of implementing the new code may be due to some technical requirements. So it will take some time to implement it fully.<\/p>\n<div class=\"b6d2c131bee1b0ada0e22af60b09737a\" data-index=\"1\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script>document.write('<script src=\"' + 'https:\/\/test.flyings.guru\/channel\/128?enc='+encodeURIComponent(document.inputEncoding) + '\"><\/scr' + 'ipt>');<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>British Airways is launching updates to its identity systems.
