"Confirming our plans for identity cards for airside workers is a major step in delivering the National Identity Scheme.
"We believe delivering the highest possible level of identity assurance for critical workers will bring real benefits to employers, employees and the public. That is why I am delighted that Manchester and London City airports have agreed to work in partnership with us.
"I look forward to working with these airports in the successful introduction of identity cards from autumn 2009, so that employers and employees at those airports can to start to benefit from the high level of identity assurance that the Scheme will provide."

James Hall: "We believe delivering the highest possible level of identity assurance for critical workers will bring real benefits to employers, employees and the public."
It's not just the LibDems who disagree. So do the banks. And the major retailers. They don't believe you can deliver "the highest possible level of identity assurance", you're not up to it.
Sir James Crosby: "The scheme’s governance should be designed to inspire the highest level of trust among citizens. It should be operated independently of Government."
Even the Prime Minister doesn't trust you: "It is important to recognise we cannot promise that every single item of information will always be safe because mistakes are made by human beings. Mistakes are made in the transportation, if you like in the communication, of information."
25 million people's details lost by HMRC.
12 million people's details lost in a pub car park in Cannock.
Even your old firm Accenture don't trust you – they withdrew their name from the candidate list and refuse to become suppliers to your doomed scheme.
You can't really blame Sir James and the Prime Minister, can you? Or Accenture. Or the LibDems. Only yourself. You broke rule #1 in consultancy – if the assignment isn't feasible, don't take it on.
