As part of the global trend towards greater use of electronic ticketing, self-service kiosks and self-service boarding, the introduction of the mobile boarding pass is a key factor in airline’s initiatives to use the most recent technologies to simplify passengers’ travel experience.
This electronic boarding pass represents a huge advance in efficiency in terms of check-in and boarding operations as passengers receive on their mobile, in the form of an MMS message, an e mail or a WAP message, all of their flight details including an IATA-compliant 2D barcode.The electronic boarding pass contains a 2D barcode which stores the passenger’s name and flight information. Passenger and airline benefits are huge.
The service considerably improves passenger convenience, eliminates the need to find a printer to print the boarding pass, drastically reduces passenger queues at check-in desks and offer airlines the opportunity to make extra income from cross-selling opportunities.
