According to a recently released fact sheet from the U.K. government,
[…] We are introducing a universal ‘permission to travel’ requirement, which will require everyone wishing to travel to the UK (except British and Irish citizens) to seek permission in advance of travel.At present, certain cohorts of people do not require a visa for short stays, or other specified immigration status, before travelling to the UK. This means that UK border control and law enforcement authorities have less information and time to assess whether a risk is posed in advance of their arrival in the UK.
Through the Nationality and Borders Bill, to fill the current gap in advance permissions, we will introduce an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) scheme broadly for those passengers visiting the UK or transiting through the UK who do not currently need a visa for short stays, or who do not already have an immigration status prior to travelling.
The scheme will give the UK more control of our borders, allowing us to block threats from entering the UK, whilst also providing individuals, and carriers, with more assurance at an earlier point in time about their ability to travel to the UK.
Similar systems are used by the USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand to keep their countries safe and secure.
Californians will also be required to obtain an ETA, who normally are not required to carry visas, as noted by The Sacramento Bee.
Priti Patel, the U.K.’s home secretary, said in a statement:
Our number one priority is the security of the UK border and by launching ETAs we can ensure that everyone wishing to travel to the UK has permission to do so in advance of travel and refuse those who pose a threat.
The scheme will officially go live by 2024, and is apart of the U.K.’s broader goals to have fully digital borders by 2025, Travel + Leisure noted.

And give it a little more time this will all be merged with a digital ID, along with other passports like vaccine passports, social credit scores, and so forth.
Ultimately, however, commercial flights are slated to be coming to an end by 2030 in most instances, per a British think tank.

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
